A 5.2-magnitude earthquake has struck Croatia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) announced.
The earthquake was registered 26 kilometers from Gospić, 119 kilometers from Split and 14 from Posedarje. It was recorded at a depth of ten kilometers.
It was strongly felt in the vicinity of Zadar, around Posedarje and in parts of Lika.
Citizens reported that the earthquake was so strong that they fled their homes.
“It shook strongly even in Šibenik,” said one Croatian citizen.
The earthquake was also felt in Bosnia and Herzegovina, mostly in the areas of Bihać, Bosanska Krupa, Prijedor and Banja Luka, and some citizens reported that they also felt the ground shaking in Zenica, Mostar and Sarajevo.
