(ANSA-AP) - ZAGREB - Croatian seismologists say an underwater
4.6-magnitude earthquake has shaken central parts of the
country's Adriatic coast, causing panic and sending people out
of their homes. No casualties or major damage have been
initially reported.
The Croatian Seismology Service says the tremor occurred several minutes before 2 p.m. (1300GMT) on Friday with the epicenter near the coastal town of Split. The quake was felt at the surrounding islands and along the coast.
The official HINA news agency says residents in higher buildings in Split said the quake knocked objects from shelves in their homes. Many have come out into the streets and squares fearing more tremors.
HINA says no major damage appears to have occurred.
