ZAGREB, Dec 29 (Hina) – A moderate earthquake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale on Tuesday morning rocked southern Dalmatia, with its epicentre being around 10 kilometres southwest from the island town of Vis, the Croatian Seismologic Service reported.
The earthquake occurred at 5.18 a.m. and it was felt in southern Dalmatia.
Vis Mayor Ivo Radica said whilst the quake was unsettling for some, there was no damage to any buildings.
“The epicenter was in Barjoška Bay in the northwest of the island and did not cause any damage nor was there any intervention. Some said the quake felt like thunder. People are, I wouldn’t say scared, but a little upset, considering other recent earthquakes in Croatia,” he told 24sata.
