Two earthquakes centered in Cyprus on Wednesday were felt across northern and central regions of Israel, raising concerns among residents in both countries. The first tremor occurred at 11:31 a.m., with the epicenter near Paphos, Cyprus, at a depth of 21 kilometers.
The earthquakes come amid heightened awareness in the region about seismic activity, as Cyprus, located along the boundary of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, regularly experiences tremors. While there have been no immediate reports of major damage, authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre confirmed the data for both earthquakes, noting that the region is no stranger to such seismic events. However, the continued aftershocks have kept residents on edge, as both nations await further updates from seismic agencies and local authorities.
Seismologists are continuing to assess the situation, and while the immediate threat of a larger earthquake is not considered imminent, citizens are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for potential aftershocks.
