Light tremor wakes up Mytilene; part of seismic sequence, say seismologists

A light tremor measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale woke up the residents of Mytilene at 5:48 on Thursday.

According to seismologists, the seismic sequence on Mytilene is totally normal. Today's (Thursday) earthquake is part of a series of aftershocks deriving from the same fault that gave the 6.1 Richter quake on June 12.

Thursday quake's epicentre was located in the sea region 35 km south of Mytilene. Three aftershocks followed in the next hour measuring 3, 2.7 and 2.7 on the Richter scale.
