Earthquake in Boeotia registers 3.9 Richter – Felt in Athens
Epicenter near Thebes
An earthquake occurred a while ago, which was also felt in Attica.
According to the first information from the Geodynamic Institute, it was 3.9 degrees on the Richter scale and the epicenter is located near Thebes.
What worries scientists
It should be noted that last Saturday in the same area, there was another 3.9 magnitude earthquake with a focal depth of only 5km, which worries scientists.
“It is an earthquake in a sensitive area that has started to produce earthquakes for 1.5 years”, “we are monitoring the evolution of the phenomenon. Thebes is a peculiar region that has troubled us in the past”, said the president of earthquake planning authority-OASP, Efthymios Lekkas speaking to SKAI 100.3 radio.
