The National Geodynamic Institute said the quake's epicenter was near Amfikleia in the Fthiotida region. The United States Geological Survey said the quake occurred at approximately 9 a.m. local time. The European-Mediterranean Seimological Center said the quake's magnitude was 5.1 on the Richter scale, the Ekathimerini reported. The quake occurred 5.5 miles northeast of Amfikleia, following a smaller tremor a few minutes earlier at the same place. No injuries or damage were reported, Ekathimerini said.
