2017 Abu Kamal offensive
The 2017 Abu Kamal offensive, codenamed Operation Fajr-3 (translated Operation Dawn 3), was a military offensive launched by the Syrian Arab Army and its allies against members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the Deir ez-Zor Governorate. The aim of the offensive was to capture ISIL's last urban stronghold in Syria, the border town of Abu Kamal. This offensive was a part of the larger Eastern Syria campaign.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive
The offensive took place at the same time as the Western Iraq campaign, which was aimed at recapturing the ISIL-held border town of Al-Qa'im and the rest of western Iraq.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Advance to the border
On 23 October, government forces started an offensive to reach Abu Kamal; over the next 48 hours, 42 ISIL militants and 27 pro-government fighters were killed as ISIL attempted to halt the military's advance. By 25 October, ISIL managed to push government troops out of the town Al-Asharah, as well as parts of Al-Quriyah, along the western banks of the Euphrates river. Meanwhile, heavy fighting raged at the ISIL-held strategic T-2 Pumping Station in the southwestern countryside of Abu Kamal, with the Syrian Army and Hezbollah reportedly managing to surround the station on three sides. On 26 October, the Army and its allies captured the T-2 Pumping Station, after which they set up positions 45 km (28 mi) from Abu Kamal. The government's advances were backed up by heavy Russian air-strikes.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Advance to the border
On 27 October, as government forces were within 40 km (25 mi) of Abu Kamal, ISIL was preparing the town's defenses. The next day, an ISIL counter-attack pushed back government troops in the area of the T-2 Station and the militants once again attacked the town of Al-Quriyah in the Euphrates river valley, seizing parts of it. On 29 October, government troops re-positioned 65 km (40 mi) southwest of Abu Kamal, while they also withdrew from Al-Quriyah and Mahkan to Mayadin after suffering heavy casualties in several ambushes.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Advance to the border
By 31 October, the ISIL attack against the T-2 Station was repelled and government forces were once again within 50 km (31 mi) of Abu Kamal. The next day, six Russian Tu-22MZ long-range bombers that took off from air bases in Russia struck ISIL targets outside Abu Kamal. On 3 November, Iraqi security forces captured the Iraqi town of Al-Qa'im, on the opposite side of the border from Abu Kamal.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Advance to the border
Late that day, Iraqi paramilitary forces crossed the border from Al-Qa'im and attacked ISIL positions in the Hiri area on the outskirts of Abu Kamal, but were repelled back across the border by the following day. At the same time as the Iraqi cross-border attack, Russia reportedly conducted a massive air-strike on ISIL targets in a residential area of Abu Kamal. On 5 November, government forces pushed within 15 km (9.3 mi) of Abu Kamal, reaching the Iraqi border.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, First attack on the city
After the Syrian Army met up with Iraqi militias on the border on 8 November, the Syrian military and its allies launched an assault on Abu Kamal, quickly encircling and entering the city. During the fighting, Hezbollah, which had hundreds of fighters take part in the battle, crossed into Iraq from where it then assaulted Abu Kamal along with the Iraqi PMF militias. The Syrian Army was also reported to have entered Iraq and then attacked Abu Kamal from Al-Qa'im.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, First attack on the city
The entrance of both the Syrian Army and its allies into Iraq was reportedly with the permission of the Iraqi military. That evening, pro-government sources reported Abu Kamal had been captured, while the pro-opposition SOHR denied this and stated only parts of the town had been seized. The next day, SOHR confirmed the capture of Abu Kamal after ISIL forces withdrew from the city through a northern escape route they managed to maintain.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, First attack on the city
Syrian Army High Command also officially declared the capture of Abu Kamal and issued a statement saying: ″The liberation of the city is of great importance since it represents an announcement of the fall of ISIS terrorist organization project in the region, in general, and a collapse of the illusions of its sponsors and supporters to divide it.″ The military subsequently started combing the city as part of demining operations. Meanwhile, pro-government forces continued their operations in the area and reportedly captured the Hamdan Military Airbase, north of Abu Kamal.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, First attack on the city
Late on 9 November, an ISIL counterattack recaptured 40 percent of Abu Kamal, including several neighborhoods in the northern, northeastern and northwestern part of the town. The next day, the fighting came close to the city center. Meanwhile, Hezbollah reported the leader of ISIL, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was in Abu Kamal during the assault on the town. On 11 November, heavy airstrikes were being conducted against ISIL, in an effort by Syrian government forces to maintain their presence in the southern part of the city, and also to push ISIL fighters out of Abu Kamal.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, First attack on the city
At this point it became apparent that the earlier ISIL retreat from Abu Kamal was conducted so to lure government troops into a trap which involved surprise attacks by militants hiding inside tunnels in the city center. The counter-assault involved suicide bombers and rocket attacks. The military and its allied militias suffered heavy casualties and by the end of the day ISIL managed to fully recapture the city, forcing pro-government forces to withdraw to one to two kilometers from the city. Meanwhile, the PMF was reported to had seized the nearby border crossing with Iraq.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Second attack on the city
On 12 November, Syrian government forces launched an assault towards Abu Kamal from Mayadin, quickly advancing through the desert and reaching positions 25–35 km (16–22 mi) west of the city. On 17 November, Syrian Army forces stormed the city again, capturing it by 19 November.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Second attack on the city
Fighting in the surrounding countryside continued until 6 December. During the fighting between 15 November and 3 December 447 fighters on both sides were killed. During this time, government forces advanced along the western bank of the Euphrates, so to besiege a pocket of ISIL territory southeast of Mayadin. The pocket was surrounded on 21 November, and in the following days the Army slowly cleared it. By 28 November, the pocket was eliminated and the town of Al-Quriyah was captured. The military then continued with its operations to link up forces advancing southeast of Mayadin with those at Abu Kamal.


2017 Abu Kamal offensive, The offensive, Second attack on the city
By 5 December, they were 10 km (6.2 mi) from achieving this and on 6 December the link-up came, with the whole western bank of the Euphrates cleared after IS forces retreated to the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, List changes
Matthew Jaensch, who suffered a knee injury in round 7 of 2015, had not played a game for the rest of that season and decided to retire from AFL at the beginning of the 2016 season. Former captain Nathan van Berlo also decided to retire at the end of 2016 after struggling to get a spot in the AFL team. He finished out the season playing in the SANFL finals campaign. The Crows also delisted Luke Lowden and Keenan Ramsey at the end of the season.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, List changes
The only trade that the Crows were involved in was that of midfielder Jarryd Lyons, who was traded to Gold Coast. After the trade period they delisted two more players: midfielder Mitch Grigg and utility Ricky Henderson. Henderson went on to be signed as a delisted free agent by Hawthorn. The final player to be dropped off of the senior list was Sam Shaw, who retired due to the effects concussion was having on his career. He was later re-drafted in the rookie draft to give him access to welfare assistance.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, List changes
With the Crows' first pick in the national draft they selected Jordan Gallucci, a midfielder from Eastern Ranges in the TAC Cup. Originally this was selection 13, but it dropped to 15 due to bids made on academy players. Son of two-time Crows premiership player Darren Jarman, Ben Jarman, was eligible for the Crows to select him as a father-son selection. The Crows decided not to use this to select him in the national draft, but Jarman was overlooked and, when no club opted to take part in the 2017 pre-season draft, the Crows were able to select him automatically with their final selection in the rookie draft.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
The Crows began the season undefeated for the first five rounds after beating premiership favourites Greater Western Sydney, winning their first match against Hawthorn since 2011, squaring up the Showdown ledger and beating both Essendon and Gold Coast by more than ten goals each. After five rounds, they were one of three undefeated teams, along with Geelong and Richmond, making their Round 6 match against Richmond a blockbuster. Richmond failed to meet expectations and the Crows won by 76 points. Undefeated after six games, the Crows were on top of the ladder with their best start to any season.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
Now premiership favourites, the Crows expected an easy win against North Melbourne, who had only won one game and were on the bottom of the ladder. They were then shell-shocked when North Melbourne kept them scoreless for the first quarter and won the game by 59 points. The Crows tried to bounce back the next week against Melbourne, and the led by 28 points halfway through the second quarter, but Melbourne went on to kick the next nine goals and won by 41 points.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
The Crows then got a chance to play themselves back into form with an 80-point win over Brisbane Lions and a 100-point win over Fremantle. This set up another top-of-the-table clash, this time with Geelong at Geelong's home ground, Simonds Stadium. Geelong led from start to finish and ended up winning by 22 points, Geelong's tenth win in a row against Adelaide at Simonds Stadium. The Crows then went into the bye after beating St Kilda by 57 points on top of the ladder with 9 wins and 3 losses.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
After losing to Hawthorn, the Crows did not lose a game for almost two months. First, they won four games against Carlton, the Western Bulldogs, Melbourne and Geelong. After this, they played against Collingwood at the MCG. The Crows went into the game as clear favourites to win, but after a slow start they were trailing by 38 points at half-time. When Collingwood kicked two quick goals to start the third quarter, the lead was extended to 50 points.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
Adelaide kicked 9 of the next 10 goals to bring the margin back to 3 points early in the final quarter, but they were unable to take the lead. Collingwood kicked three goals in a row to take the margin back out to 21 points, but the Crows came back again and in the dying seconds Collingwood's lead had been diminished to 6 points. Mitch McGovern took a huge pack mark for the Crows seconds before the siren went, and he kicked a goal after the siren to draw the game. This was the Crows' first draw since 1994. Adelaide followed this up with a record-breaking 84-point win in the second Showdown of the season, and a 43-point win over Essendon, guaranteeing them a top two spot and a home Qualifying Final.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Home and Away season
In Round 22, they played against Sydney, who after starting winless had won 13 of their last 15 games and were challenging for a spot in the top four. They had another slow start, but fought back to lead in the second half. The Crows were inaccurate in front of goals, so in spite of having seven more scoring shots than the Swans, they lost by three points. In their final game the Crows played West Coast in the final ever AFL game at Domain Stadium, where the Crows lost by 29 points. This was enough for West Coast to make the top eight, beating Melbourne on percentage by half a percent, and because Geelong had beaten the Giants, the Crows finished minor premiers in spite of losing their last two games.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Finals
When Rory Sloane had surgery to have his appendix removed before the finals, the Crows were forced to play without him in the first week. Without Sloane, the Crows still thrived in wet conditions, keeping Greater Western Sydney to just 11 points, the lowest half-time score in a final since the 1960 VFL Grand Final. The Crows went on to win by 36 points after leading at half time by 44 points, setting up a home preliminary final. This came at the cost of defender Brodie Smith, who tore his ACL in the first quarter, ending his season and putting into question whether he'd play in 2018.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Finals
Due to the bye week before the finals, there was concern that the Crows would have trouble after only playing two games in the month leading up to the preliminary final. After having the week off and Geelong beating Sydney in the Second Semi-Final, it was announced that Adelaide would be playing Geelong on Friday night at Adelaide Oval. To prepare during the week off, the Crows played a match simulation. At this simulation, key forward Mitch McGovern injured his hamstring.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Finals
At the preliminary final, Sloane returned from his appendicitis and Andy Otten was brought into the team to replace McGovern. The Crows had another fast start, scoring six goals to one in the first quarter and leading by 48 points early in the second quarter on their way to a 61-point win. This win put them through to their first grand final since their 1998 premiership.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL, Season summary, Finals
Adelaide played in the 2017 AFL Grand Final against Richmond. They led at quarter time by 11 points, but Richmond went on to kick the next seven goals and win the match by 48 points, their first premiership since 1980.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL Women's
After finishing second in the ladder, Adelaide won the first AFLW grand final by defeating Brisbane Lions 4.11 (31) to 4.5 (25).


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL Women's
The Crows started the first-ever AFL Women's season strongly, winning their first four matches, and spending three of the first four rounds at the top of the ladder. Adelaide then faced a crucial home match against Brisbane, the other undefeated team, and narrowly lost at home in front of over 10,000. A win in the next game, played in Darwin, would seal a finals appearance for the Crows, but after being down 14 points late in the fourth quarter two late goals were not enough to overcome Melbourne. Needing a win in their final against Collingwood to make the grand final, the Crows came back to win. After being down at three-quarter time by 7 points, the Crows scored 32 points in the final quarter while holding the Magpies to only a behind.


2017 Adelaide Football Club season, AFL Women's
Adelaide started the grand final strongly with a goal only 20 seconds into the match by Kellie Gibson. In front the whole match after that kick, the Crows weathered a late comeback to win the first-ever AFLW final by six points.

This is the 4th season in the South Australian National Football League contested by the Adelaide Football Club.


2017 Adendro train derailment
The 2017 Adendro train derailment occurred on 13 May 2017 when an intercity passenger train derailed and collided with a house in Adendro, Greece. Three people were killed and ten were injured. A preliminary report stated that the cause of the accident was excessive speed.


2017 Adendro train derailment, Accident
The accident happened when a passenger train derailed and collided with a house in Adendro, a village in the municipality of Chalkidona, Thessaloniki region, Greece. Three people were killed and ten more were injured when five carriages of the train derailed. The engine and one carriage collided with a house alongside the track. Two residents of the house jumped from a balcony before the collision occurred. The house was severely damaged.


2017 Adendro train derailment, Accident
The derailed train was a Class 520 diesel multiple unit. It was operating TrainOSE service IC 58 from Athens to Thessaloniki, carrying five crew and 73 passengers. The derailment occurred at 21:45 local time (18:45 UTC) at a site 200 metres (660 ft) from Adendro railway station. The train had departed from Athens at 16:18. There were four people fatally injured in the accident. Those killed were two traincrew, including the driver, and a passenger. Following the accident, the line through Adendro was expected to remain closed until 27 May.


2017 Adendro train derailment, Investigation
TrainOSE opened an investigation into the accident. The Greek Transport Ministry also opened an investigation. According to preliminary findings, the train event recorder revealed that excessive speed was the cause of the derailment. The train was travelling at 144.3 kilometres per hour (89.7 mph) where the speed limit was 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph). The three-member Commission of Experts that made the finding stated that there was no evidence of sabotage and that the local track controllers had followed proper procedures.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash
The 2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race was to be held on February 18, 2017 but was postponed to the following day because of rain. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Report, Background
The track, Daytona International Speedway, is one of six superspeedways to hold NASCAR races, the others being Michigan International Speedway, Auto Club Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway. The standard track at Daytona International Speedway is a four–turn superspeedway that is 2.5-mile (4.0 km) The track's turns are banked at 31 degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is banked at 18 degrees.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Report, Format and eligibility
The race is 75 laps in length, and is divided into two segments; the first is 25 laps and the second is 50 laps. The race is open to those drivers who won a pole in the 2016 season or had won "The Clash" previously.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Report, Format and eligibility
The 2017 Clash at Daytona will not be a predetermined number of cars; rather, the field is limited to drivers who meet more exclusive criteria. Only drivers who were 2016 Pole Award winners, former Clash race winners, former Daytona 500 pole winners who competed full–time in 2016 and drivers who qualified for the 2016 Chase are eligible. Daniel Suarez was also allowed to race, as Joe Gibbs Racing already had a car prepared for Carl Edwards who surprisingly retired less than a month before the race.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Practice, First practice
Brad Keselowski was the fastest in the first practice session with a time of 46.972 and a speed of 191.604 mph (308.357 km/h).


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Practice, Final practice
Denny Hamlin was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 45.795 and a speed of 196.528 mph (316.281 km/h).


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 1
Brad Keselowski led the field to the green flag at 11:35 a.m. under mostly sunny skies, after it was postponed from the night before. The field wasted little time packing together to form multiple lines of three-wide racing. Chris Buescher found himself out to dry as he lost the draft early on. Denny Hamlin drove to the outside of Keselowski in Turn 1 to challenge for the lead on the eighth lap. Keselowski powered back ahead, but Hamlin worked his way to the lead on lap 10. Martin Truex Jr. brushed the wall exiting Turn 4 on lap 11.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 1
The first caution of the race flew on lap 17 for a single-car wreck on the frontstretch. Exiting Turn 4, Jimmie Johnson's car broke loose, turned down and hooked the right-rear of Kurt Busch's car into the outside wall and the tri-oval grass. Busch said he was keeping to his "own business in the low groove and we got tagged in the right-rear.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 1
It's kind of a shame — all of the hard work and the effort everybody puts into the off-season — Doug Yates and his engines and everybody from Ford and everybody at Stewart-Haas, all of the effort put towards building a car and we didn't even make it to the first pit stop, so it's kind of a bummer.” He was credited with finishing last. Kyle Busch exited pit road with the race lead. Alex Bowman (speeding) and Keselowski (too many pit boxes) restarted from the tail-end of the field.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 1
The race restarted on lap 23. Coming to the end of the segment, a few cars – including race leader (Kyle) Busch – short-pitted the end of the segment. This handed the lead to Joey Logano as the second caution flew on lap 26 for the end of the first segment. When Logano pitted under the caution, the lead cycled to Hamlin. Busch restarted the race from the tail-end of the field for speeding.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 2
The race restarted on lap 30. Contrary to the two runs in the first segment, this run featured a three-car breakaway in the lead (Hamlin, Daniel Suárez and Matt Kenseth) that became a seven-car breakaway (joined by Logano, Jamie McMurray, Truex and Austin Dillon). The third caution flew on lap 50 for a single-car wreck on the frontstretch. Exiting Turn 4, Johnson broke loose a second time, slid down the track and slammed the inside wall head-on.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 2
He described both incidents as "bizarre because it drove really good everywhere else, then off of (Turn) 4 the first time I had a handling problem was when it broke free and I got into the No. 41 (Kurt Busch) and then after that, it was really loose. After that caution and the last long stretch before I crashed again, just off of Turn 4, the Sun certainly sits on that edge of the track a little bit harder than anywhere else."


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 2
The race restarted with 21 laps to go. The first five cars – consisting of Hamlin, Suárez, Kenseth, Busch and Dillon – broke away from the field. Heading down the backstretch with 17 to go, Truex was drafting with Kevin Harvick until Truex cut down across Kyle Larson, got turned and collected the wall in Turn 3, bringing out the fourth caution.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Segment 2
The race restarted with 11 to go. The Gibbs Toyotas controlled the lead, a viable outside line wasn't forming and the field was virtually single-file with five to go. With five to go, however, Keselowski, Logano and Harvick pulled out of line and made their way to the front. Busch split Harvick from the Penske teammates, but found himself split from his teammates as well. Using side-drafting, Keselowski and Logano split Kenseth and Suárez from Hamlin in the closing laps. With one lap to go, Hamlin was a sitting duck and the Penske teammates made their final push. Rounding Turn 1, Keselowski dove to the bottom line to pass Hamlin. Hamlin made a poorly-timed move down to block, caught himself on Keselowski's nose and got turned sideways. Logano drove to the high-side of the spin in Turn 2 and drove on to score the victory.


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
Logano said in victory lane that the Toyotas worked so well for most of the race because they're "selfless" and "they do such a good job working together and think of one car winning. We had to think the same way as Ford and with the Stewart-Haas and Penske cars. We were able to get a good enough run to work together enough to break them up and make the passes, and then there at the end, it was kind of a mess. I could see the block was coming way too late and it wasn't going to work. It was pretty plain what was going to happen -- I knew they were going to crash -- so I just headed to the top. Everything was going on, and I was just in the right place at the right time."


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
Keselowski said of his final lap move that he pulled up "beside Denny. Everything happens so fast here, he probably thought he was clear, I don’t know. We made a little contact there and I feel bad for everybody. It is the Clash, it’s not the (Daytona) 500 and I guarantee he knows and everyone else who is watching today (knows) that I’m going to make that move again. I had to make the move. I know all the other drivers are back watching and they know not to make that block on me again.”


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
Asked what he'd do different if given the chance to redo those last laps, Hamlin said there wasn't "much I can do differently at the end. Perhaps staying in the middle lane there through one and two and trying to side draft. He (Keselowski) had help from the 22. I was in a bad spot there. He was just coming so much faster than what I was. There's not much that I could have done to defend. We lined up so well as Toyota teammates throughout the race that once those guys started breaking that up and leap frogging, he (Keselowski) had commitment from the 22 and the 4 and when they were able to back up there that really put us at a speed differential.”


2017 Advance Auto Parts Clash, Media
FS1 covered the race on the television side, Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip and Jeff Gordon handled the call in the booth for the race, Matt Yocum, Jamie Little, Chris Neville and Vince Welch handled pit road for the television side. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was a guest analyst in the FS1 booth.

2017 Aegean Sea earthquake
A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck on 21 July 2017, about 10 km (6.2 mi) south southeast of Bodrum, Turkey, at depth of 7.0 km. Two people were killed and more than 120 others were injured on the Greek island of Kos, while at least 360 injuries were reported in Turkey.


2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake's epicentre was located just southwest of the small island of Kara Ada on the northern side of the Gulf of Gökova. The gulf is a result of extensional tectonics related to ongoing subduction of the African Plate beneath the Aegean Sea Plate, and is currently expanding in a north-south direction on a set of west-east trending normal faults. The current opening rate is estimated to be at least 1.1 mm per year.


2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 6.6 on the moment magnitude scale. The maximum perceived shaking was VII on the Mercalli intensity scale. The focal mechanism of the earthquake shows that it was the result of movement on a west-east trending normal fault, although the dip direction of the fault remains uncertain.


2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, Earthquake, Tsunami
A tsunami with a maximum height of 1.9 m was triggered by the earthquake and caused local flooding and some damage along the coasts of Kos and the Bodrum Peninsula. The height along the coasts was not uniform: some bays presented large height and inundation and other bays were much less hit. In Bodrum area (Turkey) the maximum height was measured in the Gumbet Bay; in Kos island (Greece) the largest height was measured in the Kos port, 1.5 m.


2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, Damage and aftermath
Extensive damage took place on the island of Kos, and to a lesser degree in the area around Bodrum. On Kos, the old town was worst affected, with the cathedral, the 18th century Defterdar mosque, and a 14th-century castle being badly damaged. The main harbour had its floor crack as a result of the tremor, and was subsequently declared unsafe for use by government officials, who rerouted all ferries to the smaller port town of Kefalos in west Kos.


2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, Damage and aftermath
Two fatalities were reported on the island, in addition to more than 120 injuries. The two dead were identified as Turkish and Swedish nationals, and were killed when the upper facade of a bar collapsed on top of them. Seven seriously injured people on Kos were flown to hospitals in Athens and Heraklion, including two men from Sweden and Norway in critical condition. Around 360 people were injured in Bodrum, many after jumping out of windows in panic, but none of the injuries were regarded as serious.
