Major Earthquake Strikes Santorini and Amorgos

On the night of February 9, 2025, a series of earthquakes struck the Greek islands of Santorini and Amorgos, with the strongest measuring 5.0 in magnitude. The seismic activity, which included a previous 5.2 magnitude earthquake on February 5, has raised concerns and prompted expert analysis. Professor K. Papazachos of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki noted the ongoing seismic swarming pattern, indicating that while the probability of a larger quake has lessened, it cannot be entirely dismissed. Residents are urged to remain patient as the situation develops.
