(YAHOO) – A new earthquake hit central Greece near the city of Larissa on Thursday, the same region where an even stronger tremor left 11 people injured the day before, the Athens seismological observatory said.

The quake, which the US Geological Survey said was of 5.6 magnitude, caused rockfalls close to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Meteora orthodox monasteries in Kalabaka, emergency services said.

No injuries were immediately reported from the new quake, which was felt 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Elassona, near Larissa, the observatory said. But rescue services said there were rockfalls and new damage to buildings already weakened by the previous day’s quake.

And the state television channel ERT showed footage of panicked residents on the streets. The Athens Observatory described the tremor as “very strong” and said it occurred at 8:38 pm (1838 GMT) some 16 kilometers from Elassona and 244 kilometers north of Athens. READ MORE
