Quakes rattle Greek island near Athens, no injuries reported

ATHENS - Two successive quakes with a magnitude near 5 hit the Greek island of Evia, northeast of Athens, on Sunday, data from the Athens Geodynamic Institute showed.

No injuries were reported, but there were some reports of rocks falling from the tremor, which was felt in the Greek capital about 130 km (80 miles) away from the epicentre in northern Evia.
