It is too early to say about an aftershock or a main earthquake, we will monitor the evolution of the phenomenon, and then we will make assessments, the president of OASP told SKAI about the magnitude 4.8 earthquake in Atalanti Efthymios Lekkas.
“The area has a heavy history, which essentially refers to very large earthquakes” reminded the professor of Geology. “The region produces such earthquakes, and this is positive. It is within the framework of normal seismicity in the area,” he explained.
