A strong aftershock with a preliminary magnitude of 5.3 has struck the southern Greek island of Crete, a day after a prolonged earthquake there left one man dead and injured several people.
The Athens Geodynamic Institute said Tuesday morning's aftershock, the strongest of dozens that have been rattling the island, had an epicenter 22 kilometers south southeast of Heraklion, Crete's main city and the fourth largest in Greece.
On Monday, an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of at least 5.8 struck Crete, sending people rushing into the streets, damaging homes and causing rockslides. One man was killed when a church in a village near the epicenter collapsed.
Greece's Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry said Monday's temblor was "most probably the main earthquake," and noted such events are followed by "intense seismic activity" in the form of aftershocks.
It warned the area's residents to avoid buildings that were even slightly damaged, and to follow directions by authorities.
Hundreds of homes are believed to have been damaged by the initial quake, and many local residents spent the night in tents set up by authorities.
