The quake, centered about nine miles south of Lesbos, an area that was on the front line of the migrant influx two years ago, had a magnitude of 6.1, according to the Geodynamic Institute at the National Observatory of Athens. It struck about 3:30 Monday afternoon local time, and was felt in neighboring Turkey, although no injuries were reported there. Several hours later, rescue workers pulled the body of a 43-year-old woman from the rubble of her home in the village of Vrissa. As a series of milder aftershocks rattled Lesbos on Tuesday, the regional governor, Christiana Kalogirou, told Greek television that an estimated 800 people had been displaced and were being relocated. “What is most important now is people’s safety,” she said.
