Cyprus and Turkey are both shaken by a strong earthquake, although no damage has been recorded.
A 6.1-magnitude earthquake has shook Cyprus, according to the Geological Survey Department, and has been felt across the east Mediterranean area.
The tiny island nation of Cyprus was shaken by an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 that was felt across the east Mediterranean area, according to the country’s Geological Survey Department. So yet, no damage or injuries have been recorded.
At 3:08 a.m. (0108 GMT), the violent earthquake hit 50 kilometres (31 miles) off the island’s western shore at a depth of 25 kilometres (15.5 miles).
Several aftershocks followed the original quake, according to the Geological Survey Department. Because of its depth and distance from the Cypriot shoreline, Acting Department Head Christodoulos Hadjigeorgiou informed the state-run Cyprus News Agency that the quake caused no damage or injuries.
Some people were startled awake by the tremor, which was felt most powerfully in Paphos, the island’s western region. Many people slept through it and awoke to their regular routines.
According to state broadcaster CyBC, a few individuals spent the night in their vehicles out of fear of a repeat. Several products fell from swaying shop shelves in a video released on the broadcaster’s website.
