A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Crete early Thursday, shaking areas across Greece, Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus.
The quake, at a depth of 69 km, was centered north of Crete, near Ágios Nikólaos and Irákleion.
Residents reported intense, brief tremors.
This seismic event follows a similar 6.0 quake in the Mediterranean last week.
Situated on a major tectonic boundary, Greece remains highly quake-prone, with thousands of tremors recorded recently in the Cyclades region alone.
