Assessment of the earthquake in Cyprus by seismologist Efthymios Lekkas
November 12, 2025
Seismologist Efthymios Lekkas reassures the public about the strong earthquake that shook Cyprus. He estimates it is the main quake and that no larger ones are expected. The epicenter was located beneath Paphos, which is why the tremor was so intense. Aftershocks of up to 4 Richter have been recorded. The earthquake originated from a known fault, so seismologists were not caught off guard.
