Seismic activity in the Agia Marina Kelokedaron area is gradually weakening, according to the Geological Survey Department. The department reported a decline in both the magnitude and frequency of earthquakes following a series of tremors that began in November 2025.
Recent Earthquake Timeline
The seismic events initiated on the morning of Wednesday, 12 November 2025, when two significant earthquakes registering 5.2 and 5.3 on the Richter scale were felt across Cyprus. These tremors were particularly noticeable in the Paphos, Limassol, and Nicosia districts, as well as along the eastern Mediterranean coast.
Intensity of Seismic Activity
In the 48 hours following the initial quakes, the Geological Survey Department recorded over 200 additional earthquakes in the same region. Among these, 16 tremors measured between 3.0 and 4.5 on the Richter scale, causing concern among residents who reported feeling many of the aftershocks.
Current Assessment and Future Risks
Despite the observed decline in seismic activity, the Geological Survey Department cautioned that the potential for new strong tremors still exists, although the likelihood diminishes over time. In their latest announcement, officials noted that the last 42 hours have indicated a smooth progression of the seismic sequence, which is promising for the community.
Ongoing Monitoring and Data Analysis
The department continues to monitor the situation closely, analysing data to ensure timely updates are provided. Residents can access the latest information through the Seismological Centre’s websites, which aim to keep the public informed about any changes in seismic activity.
