Huge 6.0 magnitude earthquake hits off the coast of Greece just a week after monster 6.4 tremors struck Crete

A MASSIVE 6.0 earthquake has rocked the eastern Mediterranean following major tremors off the coast of Greece. Some estimates claim this morning’s quake was as big as 6.4 weeks after a huge tremor wrecked parts of Crete.

However, it is not yet known if the earthquake has caused any injuries. The epicentre is 149km south east of Greek island Karpathos, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said. The USGS estimates the quake was 6.0 on the Richter scale while the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (ESMC) reported a 6.4 tremor. Last month, a huge quake in Crete brought a church dome crashing down on builders inside – killing a new grandad. At least 24 people were hurt as up to 1,000 homes on Greece’s largest island were reported damaged by the 6.0 magnitude quake. Brit tourists were evacuated from resorts, while in island capital Heraklion people ran out into the streets when the quake shook their homes at 9.17am local time. It also triggered rock slides and sparked a tsunami warning, although no dangerous waves were reported. Dad of two Iakovos Tsagarakis, 65 – who had recently become a grandad – was named as the builder killed in the church, reports Protothema.
