Anafi island was placed under a state of emergency on Thursday, February 13 due to recent seismic activity in the region.

According to the decision issued by the General Secretary for Civil Protection, Vassilis Papageorgiou, the emergency measures will remain in place until March 13.

Anafi is the third island to be placed under a state of emergency due to ongoing seismic disturbances. Amorgos was declared in a state of emergency on Wednesday, while Santorini has been under such a declaration for over a week.

Since January 26, more than 14,000 tremors have been recorded in the area between Santorini and Amorgos, with over 1,100 detected on February 9 alone.
