Speaking at the meeting, Efthymios Lekkas, a leading geologist and head of the state-run Earthquake Planning and Protection Agency (OSAP), warned of a high risk of landslides on the island due to tremors.

Also speaking, Kostas Papazachos, a prominent expert on geophysics and seismology, said: “The situation seems to be moving towards a better scenario in relation to seismic activity," urging the residents of the island to stay calm.
