A 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck Evia today, with tremors felt across the Attica region, including Athens, marking a significant seismic event for the day.

In other key domestic news, a police operation has commenced at the Mykonos urban planning office, with an investigation underway into potential cover-ups of illegal constructions. Meanwhile, the country observes the 13th anniversary of the murder of anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas, with commemorative gatherings taking place nationwide, prompting reflections on the crimes of Golden Dawn.
