[Intime News]

A strong earthquake rocked parts of southern Greece on Saturday, and there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The Athens Geodynamic Institute reported that an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.4 and a depth of about 58 kilometers occurred at 0516 GMT in the sea between Peloponnese and Crete.

Greek media reported that the quake was felt from Athens to Crete.

“It had a duration of about five seconds, and was very strong even in the basement of a building,” a witness in Chania, on the island of Crete, wrote on the EMSC certificate board.

The Greek fire service said it had no reports of damage.

“Because of the great depth, the tremor was felt in a wider area,” Efthimios Likas, head of the Greek Earthquake Planning Organization, told state radio ERT.
