Older industrial buildings have collapsed in Skala Polichnitou on the island of Lesvos, following Monday’s destructive 6.1 Richter earthquake, sources said.
Also fallen is part of a tall chimney of an industrial olive press in Skala Loutron that had been converted for use as a hotel called Zaira, whose collapse inflicted major damage to the main building.
Many buildings in the island’s main town of Mytilene suffered damage, such as falling plaster and cracks, including the historic town hall on the quay.
