Croatian Prime Minister Says Quake Made Centre of Hardest-Hit Town Unlivable – Photos, Videos

BELGRADE (Sputnik) – The centre of Petrinja, a Croatian town southeast of the capital, was rendered uninhabitable by a magnitude 6.3 quake that rocked the country on Tuesday, its prime minister said.

The earthquake struck the central European country at around noon, collapsing buildings and killing a girl. Twenty other people were injured. A search-and-rescue operation is underway.

The prime minister said the tremor was felt across Croatia. Neighbouring countries also reported the jolts.

Hundreds of people left homeless in Petrinja will be sheltered in barracks, with another hundred to move into a hotel, Plenkovic said. He promised that no one will be left out in the cold.
