The October 30 M7 EQ offshore Samos Island, Greece, occurred as the result of normal faulting at a shallow crustal depth within the Eurasia tectonic plate in the E Aegean Sea. This indicates N-S oriented extension that is common in the Aegean Sea.

(Very) small tsunami waves are recorded throughout the Aegean Sea.

There was a several #aftershocks.

Aftershock sequence is likely to continue for weeks and possibly months.
