Earthquakes Shake Up Achaia And Ilia



A fairly shaky earthquake just occurred in the western part of Greece (or at 18.44 local time) and more exactly between the prefectures of Achaia and Ilia. According to reports, from the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center, the earthquake's intensity was registered at 4.4 on the Richter scale and the epicenter was said to be located 9 km southwest of Lower Mazarakis, or 29 km southwest of Patras and 32 km northeast of Amaliada. Several minutes later, and specifically at 19:02 local time, an after shock occurred measuring at 3,3 R on the Richter scale. As of yet no injuries or damages have been reported.
