Egypt’s National Seismological Network, affiliated with the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), recorded three aftershocks following the earthquake that struck southern Greece this Thursday, which was felt by residents in Egypt.
According to the National Seismological Network’s official website, these three tremors – each measuring less than 3.5 on the Richter scale – occurred after an earthquake hit Crete (southern Greece) earlier this morning.
A powerful 6.24-magnitude earthquake struck near Crete in Greece early Thursday, with tremors felt as far away as Egypt.
The head of the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Taha Rabah, explained that the earthquake’s epicenter was located 499 kilometers north of Marsa Matruh, at a depth of 68.91 kilometers.
And earlier on May 14, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale struck Greece and Crete on Wednesday morning, Reuters reported in a breaking news alert.
The seismic activity was also perceptible to residents in Egypt.
