And again two minutes later, at 13:02, a second tremor hit with 5.2 R with its epicenter located 2 km east-southeast of Prokopi, near Mandoudi.

At the same time, the Fire Service announced that firefighting units have been mobilized and are conducting patrols across the affected area. Fire Service crews have also undertaken operations to remove rocks and debris from a roadway in the Derveni area of Evia.
Seismologists in the country remain on alert saying it is too early to say whether it was a main earthquake or not. At the same time, they stress that the area has several fault lines that have caused earthquakes of maximum 6 Richter in the past.
Some schools will remain closed in the area on Monday, June 8, 2026.
