Medved: Teams are on the ground again
After tonight’s tremor, the head of earthquake task force, Tomo Medved, tweeted that all teams were on the ground again “to check if anyone has been injured and what the new damage is. Unfortunately, this also means that structural engineers must again inspect the buildings they have already inspected.”
Seismologist Tomislav Fiket told Croatian Television tonight’s tremor was one of the aftershocks of the “devastating earthquake of 29 December.”
Croatia’s Seismological Survey registered an earthquake at 6.01 p.m. today measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale with the epicentre near Petrinja.
The tremor was felt in central Croatia, including in the capital.
