6.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Crete, No Injuries Reported

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit the popular tourist island of Crete early in the morning, with no injuries or major damages reported. The quake, the second in a few days in Greece, was felt strongly across various regions including Athens and the Peloponnese. Authorities initially issued a tsunami warning, though it was later lifted as no unusual waves occurred. The earthquake originated at a depth of around 69 kilometers, 58 kilometers northeast of Elounda. Experts believe there may be minor aftershocks, but significant tremors are unlikely.
