Several earthquakes hit water around the Greek island of Santorini just hours after the authorities announced there is a state of emergency.
The tourist hot point has been threatened with days of seismic activity with thousands of earthquakes recorded since last Friday.
On Thursday evening, an earthquake of 4.6 size was recorded at 20:16 local time (18:00 GMT) at sea between Santorini and another island, Amorgos, followed by an earthquake of 4.2 after about two hours.
The majority of the population – more than 11,000 people – left the island already where earthquakes are recorded on a break every minute.
Experts have warned that it is unclear when this period may end of the “seismic crisis”.
On Thursday, Zalil was not so severe as the shock of 5.2 size, which occurred on Wednesday in the water between the two Greek islands.
So far, no significant damage has been reported on the island, but the authorities are preparing in the event of a larger earthquake.
The volume indicates the size of the earthquake, with increases that were marked as decimal points.
The size is 6.0 and above, as it is the strongest experience so far in the region, the most powerful experience so far in the region.
