ZAGREB – A magnitude 6.4 earthquake has struck central Croatia, with reports of many injuries and at least seven deaths.
A 12-year-old girl was killed in Petrinja, the prime minister said as he visited the town.
Five people died in the nearby town of Glina, his deputy said. A seventh victim was found in the rubble of a church in Zazina, state media reports.
Petrinja’s mayor said around half the town had been destroyed and people were being pulled from the rubble.
The earthquake could be felt in the Croatian capital Zagreb, in neighboring Bosnia and Serbia, and as far away as Italy. (BBC)
