‘There is no reason for particular concern from earthquake of 4.7 on the Richter scale which occurred Sunday morning, focusing close to New Figalia, “he said, speaking to the Athens -Macedonian News Agency, Athanasios Ganas, Research Director of the Geodetic Institute of the National Observatory.

As he added, “it is an earthquake, which I would describe as common to the area” and continued: “Anyway for this area an earthquake of 4.7 on the Richter scale is within the usual boundaries of seismicity.”

Referring to the earthquake that occurred on January 6th, with 4.5 on the Richter scale and focusing on the neighboring area of ​​Giannitso, Ilia, Athanasios Ganas He told RES – EIA: “Today’s seismic vibration has a mechanism, which is different from the earthquake that occurred on January 6, near the Giannitso area. These two earthquakes are not connected to each other. The depth of today’s earthquake, as well as its mechanism, show that it is a different focal space than the one that gave Giannitsochori’s earthquake and had a large post -seismic sequence. “
