The quake sparked limited power cuts and communication problems around Athens, and the fire brigade reported receiving calls about people being trapped in elevators.

The Athens Institute of Geodynamics gave the earthquake a preliminary magnitude of 5.1, but the U.S. Geological Survey gave it a preliminary magnitude of 5.3. The Athens Institute says the quake struck at 2:13 p.m. local time about 13.7 miles north of Athens.

“There are no reports of serious injuries ... I urge members of the public to remain calm. In Greece we are well acquainted with earthquakes,” he said. The shock was caught live in the studios of state broadcaster ERT.
