About fifteen minutes later, another tremor struck near Gorazde, around 30 kilometers from Sarajevo, with a magnitude of 3.1. The third earthquake occurred around 3 AM near Šokci, also about 30 kilometers from Sarajevo, with a magnitude of 3.3. Most comments on the EMSC website came from Sarajevo, where all three tremors were felt. Many residents reported feeling the quakes, with some expressing concern about their frequency. One humorous comment read, 'I asked my wife if she moved, she said no. Then I realized it was an earthquake.'

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a natural event (earthquake) with no political implications or controversy. It provides factual information about the earthquake's magnitude, location, and impact, without any apparent bias or framing that suggests a political stance.

Why factuality (60): The article discusses an unrelated earthquake of magnitude 1,6 near Siska, which is not mentioned in the primary source. It also makes a judgment about the lack of comments on EMSC, implying that the earthquake did not alarm residents, which introduces subjective interpretation rather than factual r

Why objectivity (70): The tone leans towards a more casual and somewhat dismissive attitude toward the earthquake, suggesting it was not alarming. This introduces a slight bias compared to the more neutral tone of the other articles.
