A powerful undersea earthquake struck near Greece’s Santorini island, marking the strongest seismic activity recorded in the region to date. Despite the intensity of the quake, no damage or injuries have been reported, according to local authorities.
The tremors were felt as far as Athens, prompting concerns among residents and seismologists alike. Experts are closely monitoring the situation to assess any potential aftershocks and their impact on the volcanic island, known for its geological activity.
Santorini, a popular tourist destination with a history of volcanic eruptions and seismic activity, has experienced quakes before, but this recent tremor stands out due to its strength. Scientists are analyzing whether it signals any increased geological movement in the region.
Authorities have reassured residents and visitors that there is no immediate threat. However, precautionary measures are being advised, and seismic monitoring stations remain on high alert to track further developments.
