An earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale was recorded centered on Nea Styra, Evia, and was particularly felt in Attica as well.

According to the Geodynamic Institute, the focal depth is 5 km while the location is 7 km north-northeast of New Styron Evia.

A few minutes earlier, smaller-scale tremors were recorded in the same area, measuring 1.9 and 1.5 on the Richter scale.
