5.4-mag. earthquake strikes Bosnia, hours after devastating Albania quake
Bosnia and Herzegovina has been hit by a magnitude 5.4 earthquake just hours after a 6.4 magnitude temblor struck its neighbor Albania. The quake hit at 09:19 UTC at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles).
The quake struck about 6km outside of the village of Blagaj, with the epicenter calculated as roughly 75km south of the nation’s capital Sarajevo. There have been no immediate reports of structural damage or injuries.
At least seven people were killed and dozens injured when Albania’s capital Tirana was struck by an earthquake just hours earlier. Multiple buildings collapsed and there are reports of people trapped beneath the rubble.
