A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck east of the island of Rhodes early Thursday morning, without causing injuries or damages.

According to the Athens' Geodynamic Institute, the tremor, whose epicenter was 37 kilometers east of the island, was recorded at a depth of 10 kilometers.

An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 has struck not far from Athens and seismologists say it was an aftershock from a stronger quake last month.

There have been no reports of damage.

Central Greece was struck by a magnitude 5.3 earthquake at noon on Saturday.
The Athens Geodynamic Institute said the moderate tremor occurred at 12.46 p.m. about 132 kilometers northwest of Athens, near the seaside town of Itea, at a depth of 13.7 kilometers.
Seismologists were not sure if the quake, which was felt in Athens, was the mainshock or a precursor.

A 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit 49 kilometers southwest of the Ionian island of Zakynthos on Tuesday afternoon, according to a preliminary reading of the Athens Geodynamic Institute.

Attica regional authorities are working with experts at the the University of Athens, the National Technical University of Athens and the National Observatory to create an early warning system for floods, Attica Regional Governor Rena Dourou said on Wednesday.
