A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck near the coast of Albania on Tuesday, killing at least two people and injuring 150 in what was the country’s strongest tremor in decades.
The Defense Ministry told The Associated Press that a man died in the town of Kurbin after jumping from his home to escape the shaking, while another person died when a building collapsed in Durres, a port town.
Videos posted to social media in the aftermath showed some damaged buildings.
The quake was recorded at 3:54 a.m. local time about 19 miles west of Tirana, the capital city of nearly 900,000 people, where residents reported feeling the tremors.
The quake struck just two months after dozens of people were injured and hundreds of homes were damaged in the same area after a 5.6-magnitude quake. Officials said that quake, on Sept. 21, had been the strongest to strike the country in 30 years, according to Reuters.
