At 7.04 local time this morning, an earthquake was recorded near Sisak. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) recorded a magnitude of 2.6 on the Richter scale. According to their data, the epicentre was located four kilometres southwest of the town centre, at a relatively shallow depth of five kilometres.
Seismic activity caused noticeable effects on the ground, with many residents reporting that they felt tremors. One witness described the situation, stating that he first heard a sound, followed by a strong thud in the house. He noted that the roof beams creaked under the influence of the vibrations.
Another resident described the earthquake through sounds of rumbling and impacts that caused physical movement. According to his testimony, the vibrations were strong enough to shake the bed and the house itself, further highlighting the intensity of the seismic event in this part of Croatia.
Although citizen reports indicated the earthquake was noticeable, expert analysis emphasises that the radius of perception was limited to a narrow area around the epicentre. The shallow focus and densely populated area around the epicentre meant that vibrations were clearly felt by residents.
