4.3 magnitude earthquake rattles Aegean Sea near Amorgos Island

A magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck the Aegean Sea on Sunday at 11:32 a.m. local time, approximately 21 kilometers southwest of Amorgos Island in the Cyclades, South Aegean, Greece, according to the Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens.
The quake, centered in a seismically active region, occurred at a shallow depth, though specific depth details were not immediately available. No reports of injuries or significant damage have surfaced, and the tremor was likely felt lightly in nearby areas, including Amorgos and surrounding islands. Authorities are monitoring the situation, as the region has experienced ongoing seismic activity in recent months, including a notable earthquake swarm earlier this year.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant, and local officials have urged caution in coastal areas due to the potential for minor aftershocks. The Aegean Sea, part of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc, is known for frequent earthquakes, with the Cyclades typically experiencing lower seismic intensity compared to other parts of Greece.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. (ILKHA)
