4.6 magnitude earthquake hits Croatian coast
Zagreb, Feb 11 (AFP) Feb 11, 2025
A 4.6 magnitude earthquake shook the Croatian coast on Tuesday, state media said, with no damage or deaths reported in the immediate aftermath.

The tremor struck seven kilometres (four miles) northeast of Starigrad in Zadar county at 6:43 pm (1743 GMT) on Tuesday, according to US Geological Survey data.

Croatia media reported there were no damages or casualties immediately, but the tremor provoked panic among locals in the well-known tourist area.

Reports said that the earthquake was also felt in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The moment magnitude scale classifies any quake between 4 and 4.9 as light.

In 2020 Croatia was hit by a deadly earthquake that killed seven people, displaced hundreds and caused serious material damage.
