This is right after an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 hits Petrinha.

Buildings collapsing from all over the place, and the thick dirt generated blocks your view.

The rescue of the survivors unfolds desperately in a car covered in bricks.

The earthquake has turned a large part of the city center into ruins that appear to have been bombed.

The earthquake occurred about 50km southeast of Zagreb, the capital city, about 12:30pm local time on the 29th.

The earthquake has resulted in at least dozens of casualties so far.

Much of the city center building was damaged, and authorities mobilized military forces to set up 500 barracks to accommodate the victims.

Many of the 25,000 inhabitants have been displaced.

The earthquake that day occurred just one day after a 5.2-scale earthquake near Petrija, and was also detected in neighboring countries such as Serbia, Bosnia and Austria.
