The quake was also felt on the island of Cyprus and the Gaza Strip.

The tremor came a day after a small earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale was registered off the coast of the Greek island of Cephalonia.

No damage or injuries were reported on Cephalonia or the island of Zante, where residents felt the ground shake early Saturday morning.
