Remy Bossu, Secretary-General of the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, said "days, or perhaps, weeks" would be needed to evaluate the series of earthquakes but said that the series of quakes typically occur in the build-up to a larger tremor, as per CNN.
Records from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) showed the quakes were continuing to occur a few minutes apart as of 7am on Tuesday (05:00 GMT), with the largest quake recorded at magnitude 5.1 on Monday afternoon.
