Evia Earthquakes: Seismologist Notes Moderate Activity, Urges Patience

The region of Evia in Greece is experiencing moderate seismicity, according to Kostas Papazachos, a seismology professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). His comments came after a series of strong earthquakes were felt in Northern Evia on Sunday afternoon, with tremors also reaching Attica.

Papazachos described the events as "consecutive earthquakes." He urged the public to remain patient, explaining that analyses are still in progress. He noted that automatic systems might require corrections, indicating the dynamic nature of seismic monitoring and assessment.

While characterizing the area's seismic activity as moderate, the professor emphasized that "any possibility" of future events cannot be ruled out. His statements aim to provide a scientific perspective on the recent seismic activity while managing public expectations and informing them about the ongoing assessment process.
