2019 earthquake in Greece

An earthquake occurred at 2:13 p.m. on Friday, July 19, 2019, and affected many people in the middle of the day. Several seismological institutes determined a magnitude of about 5.3 and the epicentral region appeared to be south of Mt Parnitha, ~20 km NW of the Athens metropolitan area. Nearly 20 years before, on the 7th September 1999, Athens was struck by a 6.0 magnitude earthquake.
