A magnitude-6.4 earthquake in central Croatia on Tuesday, December 29, hit the second earthquake to rock the country in as many days.
Causing major damage to homes and other buildings, it is the worst earthquake in the country in 140 years – for the second time in 2020 – with the quake killing at least seven people according to a Bloomberg report.
