3.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Rhodes, Greece

A 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck northwest of Rhodes, Greece, just before midnight local time on Sunday night, March 17th, 2024.

The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported the quake, which hit at a moderate depth of 44.2 km. Seismologists are analyzing data, and the exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth may be revised in the coming hours or minutes.
