- Experts suggest the seismic activity near Santorini may be linked to magma movement in an underwater volcano, with a potential eruption not ruled out.
- Italy's Naples region and Tuscany have also faced earthquakes, including activity at the Phlegraean Fields supervolcano, raising concerns due to the area's dense population.
- Tenerife has recorded mild seismic activity, attributed to its volcanic nature, though experts say it differs geologically from Santorini's situation.
- A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck near the Cayman Islands, caused by tectonic plate shifts, but resulted in no reported casualties or significant damage.
