A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake collapsed buildings in central Croatia on Tuesday, causing considerable damage to homes and other buildings in Petrinja, a town southeast of the capital Zagreb, with rescue teams racing to comb through the rubble for injured people.
The tremor, which struck at a depth of 10 kilometres at around 11:30 GMT according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), was also felt strongly some 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the epicentre in the capital Zagreb, where panicked residents raced onto the streets, according to an AFP reporter.
"We are pulling people from cars, we don't know if we have dead or injured," the mayor of Petrinja Darinko Dumbovic told regional broadcaster N1.
"There is general panic, people are looking for their loved ones."
N1 quoted a Petrinja town official as saying that a 12-year old child in Petrinja had been killed, but gave no details. It was not immediately possible to verify the report.
