Crete and Santorini Shaken by 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake; Tsunami Warning Lifted

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Crete and Santorini in Greece early this morning. Greek authorities issued a tsunami warning as a precaution, but later canceled it after assessing the situation. The epicenter was located approximately 79 kilometers from Heraklion. Initial reports indicate no serious injuries or major structural damage. "We are relieved that the situation is not worse," stated a local resident in an interview. However, the Imbros Gorge remains closed for safety inspections. The earthquake caused some minor damage, with debris scattered on the streets, as seen in videos circulating on social media. This event serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness in earthquake-prone regions.
