Santorini Declares State of Emergency After Intense Earthquake Swarms

A state of emergency has been declared in Santorini following a 5.2 magnitude earthquake, the strongest in days, which has led to a significant evacuation of residents and tourists.
Around 11,000 people have fled Santorini, which typically attracts over 3.4 million tourists annually, as authorities arranged additional flights for safety.
Greek authorities are responding to the seismic activity, but evacuation efforts were hindered by high winds preventing ferries from departing the ports.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged citizens to cooperate with authorities as the island experiences ongoing seismic activity.
