The tremor hit 16 minutes after 4 p.m. and was felt as far as Athens, 247 kilometers away, as well as Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, since it was relatively superficial (11 km from sea level).

No injuries or damage has been reported as yet, with the epicenter being offshore, some 35 kilometers south of Limnos.
An aftershock of 3.5R followed seven minutes later.
