5.8 quake jolts western Greek islands*

ATHENS (AP) — A magnitude 5.8 earthquake rattled Corfu and other western
Greek islands Friday but there were no immediate reports of injuries or
damage, authorities said.

The Athens Geodynamic Institute said the quake occurred at 9:09 p.m.,
with its epicenter on the Greek mainland 21 miles southwest of the
northern port city of Igoumenitsa, or 210 miles northwest of Athens.

The quake was felt on the islands of Corfu and nearby Paxous, but also
on the western Greek mainland and southern Albania.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was of magnitude 5.5.
