About 2020 Petrinja earthquake in brief
The earthquake had a magnitude of 6. 4 Mw and a depth of 10 kilometres. It was felt in Slovenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Italy, as well as in some parts of Montenegro, Germany, and Czechia. Seven people were confirmed dead, while 26 others were injured, with six having serious injuries. The mayor of Petrinja Darinko Dumbović said that half of the town has been destroyed. The epicenter is located in a hilly area just south of the Kupa-Sava alluvial plain, with the Zrinska gora mountain and the rest of the Dinaric Alps to the south. This seismicity has been associated with reactivation of northwest–southeast trending normal faults that form the southwestern boundary of the Pannonian Basin.
In March 2020, a 5. 5 ML earthquake struck the city of Zagreb. The earthquake was followed by numerous aftershocks, the strongest of which was 4. 8 Mw. It is estimated that between 700,000 and 1,000,000 houses were damaged in the town of Sisak-Moslavina. The entire village of Pokupski, located roughly 20km northeast of the epicenter, suffered major damage to its city hall, hospital, and elementary school. The whole town centre was heavily damaged, with many buildings collapsed and a major power outage. Damage and power outages were also reported in Dvor, Glina, Gvozd, Hrvatska Kostajnica, Kutina, Sisaksa, Sunja, Topusja and Velika.
