TIRANA - An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.6 and an aftershock only slightly weaker shook the Albanian port town of Durres on Saturday, rocking buildings there and in the capital Tirana and sending residents rushing into the streets and parks for safety.
Health Minister Ogerta Manastirliu said 68 people had been treated for injuries in Tirana and Durres. Most were hurt while dashing out of their homes in panic.“Fewer people are coming to the hospitals ,” Manastirliu told reporters. “It was confirmed a while earlier that there is no damage to oil wells,” Xhacka said, referring to the oil-producing region of Fier.
“Considering the first most powerful tremor, the main seismic event, it is good news the aftershocks have been less powerful both in magnitude and intensity,” Xhacka said.
