Twin Quakes Rock Greek Island of Evia

On Sunday at around 13:00, a series of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 4.3 to 5.2 struck the northern Gulf of Evia, with tremors lasting about 20 seconds and several subsequent shocks following within minutes.
Northern Evia, home to scattered villages that sit on multiple faults, has a long history of seismic activity. Scientists said this tremor activity is usual for the island's north, indicating no reason for serious concern.
Residents in Athens reported noticeable shaking from tremors felt about 130 km away, though no damage occurred in the capital. Meanwhile, northern Evia experienced small-scale landslides across the road network and slight damage to a few houses.
Officials reported no injuries following the quakes, and authorities are monitoring developments closely over the next 48 hours to assess whether further significant shocks may occur.
Greece is one of Europe's most earthquake-prone countries, though most quakes cause no casualties. While this event caused minor disruption, the region remains a focus of ongoing monitoring due to its long seismic history.
