U namandla inyikima yabetha ikomkhulu lamaGrike eAtene ngo-2:14pm ngexesha lendawo, kunye ne-epicenter ebekwe kwi-23km kumntla-ntshona wesixeko, ngokutsho kweZiko leGeodynamics kwiNational Observatory yaseAthene.
Esi sixeko sabethwa luthotho lweenyikima, ngeyona ndlela inamandla yokulinganisa i-5.1, ebangela ukuba abantu babalekele ezitalatweni besuka ezindlwini, kwiiofisi nakwiivenkile ezinkulu.
Le nyikima, eyalandelwa ziinyikima ezininzi emva koko, yavakala kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zeso sixeko. AmaNgqina awachaza ‘njenganamandla. Akukho mntu wonzakeleyo oye wachazwa kwangoko emva kwenyikima.
Imifanekiso evela kwindawo yesiganeko ibonisa ifenitshala eshukumayo kwaye iwela ngaphakathi kwiiflethi ngexesha lokungcangcazela.
Izakhiwo zikawonke-wonke ezininzi kunye nodederhu lweevenkile ezinkulu zafuduswa.
Abantu abothukileyo bagxalathelana ezitalatweni, besoyikela ezinye iinyikima. Bahlanganisana ngaphandle kwezakhiwo, yaye abanye bashiya iimoto neebhasi zabo.
Obunye ubutyobo bunokubonwa buthe ngcu phezu kwezithuthi ezipakishiweyo nakwindlela yabahambi ngeenyawo.
Kukwakho neengxelo zeengxaki zombane kunye noqhagamshelo lwefowuni ephathwayo.
I-arhente yesizwe engxamisekileyo, i-General Secretariat for Civil Protection, ibizwe ukuba ibize intlanganiso engxamisekileyo yokuvavanya umonakalo.
Le yinyikima yokuqala ukuntlitha iAthene ukususela ngowe-1999, xa inyikima enomlinganiselo osisi-6.0 yabulala abantu abayi-143 yaza yonakalisa izakhiwo ezingama-70,000 XNUMX.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- 14pm local time, with the epicenter located 23km northwest of the city, according to the Institute of Geodynamics at the National Observatory of Athens.
- The city was hit by a series of tremors, with the strongest measuring magnitude 5.
- The nation's main emergency agency, the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, has been called to convene for an urgent meeting to assess the damage.
