An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 struck the Gulf of Corinth, central Greece, early Sunday morning (9 October). Authorities said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which revised down an initial reading of 5.7 magnitude, said the quake struck 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) below the surface in the gulf separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese peninsula, 16 kilometres from the town of Itea.

The tremor occurred at 1 AM (2200 GMT) and was felt as far away as Athens, the capital, about 115 km away.
