An earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale rocked the island of Amorgos, the easternmost island of the Cyclades island group, a short while ago, with tremors also reportedly felt in the Greek capital of Athens.
The Revised Solution of the Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens initially reported two earthquakes in the area, both around magnitude 5 on the Richter scale, occurring one minute apart. The revised measurement gave a magnitude of 5.3 with the precise location recorded 14 kilometers south-southwest of Arkesini, Amorgos, with a focal depth of 17 kilometers.
Additionally, the earthquake’s geographic coordinates were pin pointed at a latitude of 36.6682 and a longitude of 25.7359.
