A 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook the  southeastern part of Phocis, in central Greece, on Thursday. No injuries or damages were immediately reported.

The devastating earthquakes that hit 11 southern provinces in February last year have impacted the labor market and the manufacturing sector in those regions, according to a report by the Presidency of Strategy and Budget.

The earthquakes killed nearly 54,000 people in early February in 2023.

A weak earthquake was felt last night in Plovdiv.

The earth shook with a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale, according to data from the seismological center of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

There are no reports of injured people or material damage.

Turkish provinces devastated by last year's earthquakes have seen a resurgence in their populations, says Atay Uslu, the head of the parliament's subcommittee on migration and adaptation.

Uslu revealed that regions that experienced rapid population decline post-earthquake have now begun to approach their former demographic levels.

The seismic gap extending to 130 kilometers in the Marmara Sea constitutes one of the main causes of the expected major earthquake, experts warned at a meeting held on the anniversary of the deadly Feb. 6 earthquakes that shook 11 southern provinces.

In line with the efforts to prepare the Marmara region against a massive earthquake scientists have long warned about, a center has been established to generate data and conduct detailed studies on the dangers and risks posed by active faults in the region.

In a seismic event that rattled the border region between Kyrgyzstan and China's Xinjiang province, a formidable 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck, leaving behind a trail of injuries and significant structural damages. The quake commenced at 02:09 local time, impacting a mountainous expanse in Xinjiang, with the seismic waves felt across the border in Kyrgyzstan.

A major 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck along the China-Kyrgyzstan border on Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey said, warning of potentially widespread damage though no casualties have been reported.

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake has hit east of Evia, Greece's second largest island, shaking the capital Athens, southwest of the tremor's epicenter.

The tremor was felt at 4.15 p.m. local time.

The Athens-based Institute of Geodynamics announced on its website that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.

A moderate earthquake rattled the eastern Peloponnese and parts of the Greek capital on Tuesday morning, with initial estimates putting its magnitude at 4.8 on the Richter scale.

According to the National Observatory of Athens, the quake struck off the coast of Leondio in the northeastern Peloponnese's Gulf of Argos, at a depth of 14.5 kilometers.
