Kruno Stipić and his search dog Draco who found a captured woman under the ruins in Croatia caused by a destructive 6,3 magnitude earthquake and thus saved her life.
In the last two days Croatia was struck by more than 20 earthquakes, most serious ones struck: Monday (28.12) at 6:28 (M5.1), Monday (28.12) at 7:49 (M4.7) and Tuesday (29.12) at 12:19 (M6.4).
They were all near towns Petrinja and Sisak, but they were felt throughout Croatia and even in Austria.
tw// death
So far there have been reported 7 deaths, one of which is a 12 year old girl. (source here// timeline of today’s happenings)
//
So far many people have been hospitalized.
Unfortunately some parts of hospital in Sisak have been destroyed in the earthquake so patients were/are being transfered to Zagreb.
You can see the moment the earthquake hit here.
I can still feel the earth shaking a bit (or maybe thats just the aftershock).

[about an hour or two ago a very strong earthquake - about 6.4 degrees on richter's magnitude scale - shook the country. city Petrinja and nearby villages were hit the worst as the epicentre was located there. yesterday, the same happened - in Sisak and Petrinja - but it was slightly weaker. this one was so strong, that it was felt in cities on all sides of the country and other countries around it. unfortunately, there are injured and dead. people have lost their homes and family members.]
big countries aren't the only ones with big problems.
Today, an earthquake with magnitude 6,4 Richter struck Petrinja,Sisak and Glina, with epicentre in Petrinja. This is the worst earthquake in recent history of my country. Petrinja mayor has just said that the first victim is a small child, whose body was discovered in front of their mother. Pray for Petrinja.
