An earthquake measuring 4.5 was recorded in the Limassol area on Tuesday morning, the Geological Survey Department said.

The epicentre of the earthquake was the sea area 50 km southwest of Limassol at a depth of 30 km.

The quake was recorded at 9.17 am. It lasted about five seconds with furniture and lighting shaking, according to a resident of Ypsonas, which is located 53 km northeast of the epicentre.

"The quake was rather short. It lasted only a couple of seconds. It was intense though; more of an up and down shake," a resident of Erimi near Limassol commented on twitter.
