**Earthquake Felt in Limassol**
An earthquake measuring 2.2 on the Richter scale was recorded in Limassol, Cyprus, on Saturday afternoon. The tremor struck at approximately 3:20 PM local time, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 8.4 kilometers, a relatively shallow depth that often results in the tremors being felt more acutely by residents in the vicinity. While the magnitude of 2.2 is considered minor, such seismic events can still be noticeable, particularly in urban areas.
As of now, there have been no reports of damage or injuries resulting from the earthquake. Local authorities have not issued any alerts or warnings following the event, suggesting that it did not pose a significant threat to the community.
Earthquakes are not uncommon in the region, as Cyprus is situated in a seismically active area of the Eastern Mediterranean. The island experiences minor tremors from time to time, which are typically not severe enough to cause major disruptions.
Residents of Limassol and surrounding areas are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings during seismic events and to follow safety protocols if they feel the ground shake.
The EMSC continues to monitor seismic activity in the region, providing updates and information to the public as necessary.
