A magnitude-5.7 earthquake struck the Thesprotia region of Greece on Saturday at 3.49 a.m. (0149GMT) at a depth of 7.4 kilometers (4.6 miles).
The tremor was recorded at 00:49 GMT with the epicenter located at a depth of 10 kilometers, 46 kilometers southwest of the city of Ioannina.
The US Geological Survey said that the magnitude of the earthquake stood at 5.7.
There have been no reports about any victims or damage caused by the earthquake so far.
Greece lies in a seismologically active region as the Mediterranean Sea is a border between the African and Eurasian plates. The movement of the African plate to the north – where the Eurasian plate lies – sometimes causes earthquakes and has already resulted in the formation of several mountain ranges in Europe, including the Alps.
The quake, which occurred 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from Souli in northwestern Greece, also affected Albania, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
There have been no statements as of yet on casualties or property damage.
