Two earthquakes hit the Podsljem area and woke up Croatians: 'It felt right'

On Saturday at 4:11 AM, the Seismological Service recorded two weak earthquakes with epicenters in the subsurface zone. The magnitudes were 2.3 and 2.1 on the Richter scale, with intensity level III on the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS). Citizens reported feeling the tremors on the page of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), where over 150 comments were posted describing the experience. Multiple social media posts under hashtags like #Earthquake and #Croatia shared personal accounts of the event, including reports of waking up, objects shaking, and glass rattling. While the tremors were described as mild, they were noted to have been felt by many across Croatia.

A tremor with a magnitude of 3.7 on the Richter scale struck the area around Siscia early Thursday morning, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The earthquake was recorded at 6:29 local time, with its epicenter located six kilometers southeast of Siscia, approximately 56 kilometers southeast of Zagreb. The depth of the quake was nine kilometers. Residents who used the EMSC app shared their experiences, describing the sensation as “well felt” and noting a “strong shaking” in the center of Siscia. The tremor was not the only seismic activity reported in the region. On Sunday, two minor earthquakes were recorded in the subsurface zone near Zagreb. The first had a magnitude of 2.3, and the second 2.1, both measured on the Richter scale. Both quakes registered intensity level III on the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS). These smaller tremors were widely felt across Croatia, with over 150 comments posted on the EMSC website. Many residents described feeling the ground shake, some even waking up due to the vibrations. One resident from Stubičke Toplice wrote that the shaking was much stronger than what was recorded, while another noted that the tremors occurred twice within a few minutes, causing objects to move and glass to rattle. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a separate earthquake of magnitude 3.1 was recorded on Tuesday at 4:21 local time. Its epicenter was approximately 12 kilometers east of Sarajevo, at a depth of six kilometers. This quake was also felt by many residents in and around Sarajevo, including those in Lukavica and Kobilja Glava. They described hearing a loud sound and experiencing a noticeable tremor. No injuries or material damage were reported in connection with this event. Residents in the areas affected by these quakes took to social media platforms and the EMSC website to share their accounts. In Croatia, one person wrote that they were awakened from sleep by the shaking, while another mentioned that objects on shelves moved and glasses rattled. Another comment noted that the first tremor felt like a sudden impact, followed shortly after by a weaker one. In Bosnia, a resident described the sound as distinct and the movement as brief but intense. The EMSC continues to monitor seismic activity in the region, using crowdsourced reports to detect potential tremors. While these initial reports are not yet seismically verified, they provide valuable insights into how the public perceives and reacts to such events. The organization encourages individuals to report their experiences through its online platform, which helps improve the accuracy of future assessments. As the days pass, further data will be collected and analyzed to determine whether there is any pattern or correlation between the recent quakes. Scientists remain cautious, emphasizing that small tremors are common and typically pose little risk. However, continued monitoring is essential to ensure public safety and to better understand the geological activity in the area. For now, the focus remains on gathering more information and providing accurate updates to those who may have been affected.
