With his post on his Facebook account, the professor of seismology, Akis Tselentis, made a first analysis of the earthquake of 4.6 Richter in Amfilochia Etoloakarnania.

As it typically states:

“The Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens announces that today, at 02:20 Greek time, its seismological networks recorded a weak seismic tremor with a magnitude of 4.6 on the Richter scale, at a distance of 245 km SW of Athens.
The focal depth is estimated at 17.8 kilometers while the epicenter is located 12 kilometers northeast of Amfilochia.

Since then there has been an intense (post)-seismic activity in the area with dozens of earthquakes under 3 Richter.

The earthquake lasted and was felt in several areas.

According to information from the Fire Service, no damage has been reported from the earthquake.

In my opinion, taking into account the seismic history of the SPECIFIC area, the possibility of it being pre-seismic activity is small, but to be 100% sure, we need to see the evolution of the phenomenon in the next 24 hours.

Shifting towards the neighboring large fault zones (which have a seismic potential of over 6 Richter) we have not seen but because we have many instruments in the area we are monitoring the phenomenon very precisely.

Of course, residents must reverently follow the well-known earthquake prevention measures.
