(27 Nov 2019) Rescue crews with excavators searched for survivors trapped in toppled buildings on Wednesday morning in the Albanian city of Durres, after a powerful pre-dawn earthquake killed at least 20 people and injured more than 600.
The magnitude-6.4 quake was felt across the southern Balkans and was followed by multiple aftershocks, with several above magnitude 5.
In nearby Bosnia, another temblor with a preliminary magnitude of 5.4 struck southeast of the capital and rattled Sarajevo.
There were no reports of casualties and only minor damage.
The quake in Albania collapsed apartment buildings and hotels as people slept, and rescue crews worked through the night to free people believed trapped.
There was no indication as to how many people might still be buried in the rubble, as neighbouring countries and European Union nations sent search-and-rescue crews to help.
