Strong earthquake hits Greek island of Kefalonia

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of between 5.7 and 6.1 has hit the western Greek island of Kefalonia, just over a week after a similar quake damaged dozens of buildings there.

Kefalonia’s mayor Alexandros Parisis said the port at the town of Lixouri, the closest to the epicentre, had been seriously damaged and minor injuries reported.
