Frequent earthquakes shake Greece's Santorini as authorities prepare for potential evacuations

Santorini, Greece, has experienced frequent earthquakes, occurring every few minutes, prompting authorities to enhance emergency plans. A coast guard vessel and military craft are on standby for potential evacuations. Access to coastal areas has been restricted, and schools on several islands are closed. Public events are banned, and many residents and tourists have left due to fears from the quakes, which range from magnitude 3 to 5. Authorities reported increased volcanic activity in Santorini's caldera, but scientists state it is unrelated to the earthquakes. No injuries or major damage have been reported, and additional communication resources are being deployed to the area.
