ZAGREB: At least seven people died and dozens sustained injuries after a powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck central Croatia on Tuesday, according to the US Geological Survey and Croatian officials, CNN reported.
Emergency crews, assisted by the military, were still digging through the rubble in several towns as night fell and electricity remained out.
The quake, which struck just after noon local time about 30 miles southeast of the capital Zagreb, could be felt across the Balkans.
It is the largest quake to hit Croatia this year, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
