- 4 years ago
A large earthquake struck north of the Croatian capital Zagreb on Sunday, causing some buildings to collapse and leaving at least one teenager in a critical condition. David Doyle reports.
Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said the 5.3 magnitude quake was the biggest to hit Zagreb in 140 years.
Plenkovic said all citizens should remain outside their homes, amid potential aftershocks - but also appealed for people to keep social distances from each other, as the country struggles to contain the spread of coronavirus.
