One person died and at least three were injured in a strong earthquake that struck Bosnia-Herzegovina on April 22, sending people fleeing their homes.
The earthquake, which struck shortly after 11 p.m., was felt throughout the country and in neighboring Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro.
The director of the Safet Mujic Cantonal Hospital in Mostar confirmed to RFE/RL that the woman who died was injured in the city of Stolac.
She was found among the rubble after a part of a hill collapsed on her family house, the hospital told RFE/RL. Her exact age was not given, but her birth year was 1992.
She had already passed away when she was brought to the hospital, the director said, adding that there were three other people with head injuries.
"They came with scratches or sprained wrists [sustained] while fleeing houses," hospital director Kazimir Raguz said. "There were also minor head injuries due to objects falling into houses, but nothing was more significant and serious. They were all released for home treatment."
Ranko Radic, the head of civil protection in Ljubinje, which is located about 30 kilometers from Stolac, told RFE/ RL that there were damaged cars, roofs, and chimneys in that city.
The earthquake had a magnitude of 5.7 and its epicenter was about 42 kilometers southeast of the city of Mostar at a depth of about 5 kilometers, according to the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC)
The EMSC warned that aftershocks were likely in the coming hours and days. Radic said two had been felt in Ljubinje, and most people remained outside because of the danger.
The fire department in Trebinje, located about 80 kilometers from the epicenter, told RFE/RL it had no reported damage.
A power outage was reported in some parts of Mostar, and a chimney fell from a building into a city street.
