A strong earthquake, of magnitude 6.2, struck Croatia again causing damage and landslides, at least one dead and injured. Downtown Petrinja is the area most affected by the destruction. According to local media, among the collapsed buildings would be the local hospital and a kindergarten, where one of the children housed would have died. The frightened population took to the streets and open spaces. The Croatian army mobilized to provide assistance to the population of central Croatia. At least 300 soldiers left for Petrinja, where the most damage was recorded. The Krsko nuclear power plant in Slovenia was closed as a precautionary measure.
The earthquake, with an epicenter 47 km from Zagreb, was registered at 12.19. The strong telluric movement lasted a few seconds and was felt in several municipalities of Friuli Venezia Giulia, both in the mountains and on the coast. Many people left their homes. All the employees of the Udine municipality at the time of the earthquake left the Palazzo d’Aronco. Today’s earthquake follows the two tremors recorded yesterday in the same area, and occurred 186 kilometers from the border, east of San Dorligo della Valle.
After the first earthquake, others, less intense, also followed, attesting to the intense activity in the Croatian subsoil.
Above, the telephone interview with Stefano Parolai, director of the Ogs Seismological Research Center.
Previous. The area is the same where two tremors were recorded yesterday, one of 5.2 degrees to 6.28 (with an epicenter 47 kilometers southeast of Zagreb) and another at 7.49 of magnitude 4.8 (ML Richter) with an epicenter not far from the first. 51 kilometers southeast of Zagreb. The seismic activity is therefore probably related.
In March, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake shook the city of Zagreb, killing one and injuring 27. A lot of help had also come from our region.
