Last update: February 15, 2013 at 3:20 pm by By Ashish Khanal

Update 15:06 UTC : Epicenter below the Lerissos peninsula. Minor damage cannot be excluded as the hypocenter of this earthquake was very shallow and as the epicenter (if correct) is almost below a village with a population of +1000 inhabitants..

Update 14:56 UTC : As a reader reported us a little while ago, the shaking lasted for nearly a minute and thats a long time for a moderate earthquake like this.

The shaking in Bulgaria is related to the earthquake below which has an epicenter in Greece
