The Greek holiday island of Crete was rocked by another earthquake on Thursday morning as a 6.1 magnitude tremor struck off the coast - people were urged to stay away from coastal areas

A strong 6.1 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Crete, triggering tsunami warnings and emergency measures across southern Greece.

Back in 2021, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck the island of Crete weeks after a deadly tremor had claimed one life and injured around a dozen people, devastating several villages near Heraklion and damaging hundreds of homes.
