New world news from Time: A 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Just Rattled the Greek Tourist Island of Zakynthos
THESSALONIKI, Greece — A strong earthquake has shaken the Greek tourist island of Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 6.8 magnitude quake was 35.9 kilometers (22.3 miles) southwest of Lithakia in the southern part of Zakynthos. It had a depth of 16 kilometers and struck at 22:55 GMT on Thursday.
Greece lies in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions, with thousands of quakes recorded every year. But few cause injuries or significant damage.
Zakynthos has had severe earthquakes in the past, and as a result has a very strict building safety code.

New world news from Time: American Pastor at Center of Diplomatic Dispute Released and Allowed to Leave Turkey
A Turkish court has convicted an American pastor at the center of a Turkish-American diplomatic dispute of terror charges, but has released him from house arrest and allowed him to leave Turkey.
The court near the western city of Izmir on Friday sentenced Andrew Brunson to 3 years and 1 month in prison for the conviction, but since the evangelical pastor has already spent two years in detention he won’t serve more time.
Brunson, 50, had rejected the espionage and terror-related charges and strongly maintained his innocence.
Lawyer Ismail Cem Halavurt said Brunson was expected to leave Turkey for the United States
