Weezha Roz<\/strong><\/span>– Several new earthquakes have occurred in the waters surrounding Santorini Island, Greece, just hours after local authorities declared a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

This popular tourist destination has experienced thousands of tremors since Sunday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, shortly after 8 PM local time, a 4.6 magnitude earthquake struck between Santorini and Amorgos Island, followed by another earthquake measuring 4.2 magnitude two hours later.<\/p>\n

While Santorini has been mostly evacuated, some residents have begun conducting nightly patrols due to concerns about looting on the island.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the earthquakes are being recorded minute by minute, and over 11,000 people have left the island.<\/p>\n

Experts have warned that it is uncertain when this period of seismic activity will end in this crucial tourist hub, which they have described as “critical.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters between the two islands.<\/p>\n

So far, no injuries have been reported, and no significant damages have occurred.<\/p>\n

However, officials are preparing for the possibility of a major earthquake. On Wednesday, they issued a warning about the potential risk of landslides in certain parts of the island.<\/p>\n

Greek authorities announced on Thursday that the state of emergency on the island will continue for nearly a month, until March 3.<\/p>\n

Greece is one of the most seismically active countries in Europe. Seismologists have told the BBC that it is difficult to predict how long this seismic activity will continue.<\/p>\n

Dr. Athanasios Ganas, director of research at the National Observatory of Athens, stated: “This is truly unprecedented, we have never seen anything like this (in modern times) in Greece.”<\/p>\n
