The Meteorology Agency has warned that after this quake there may be other quakes, which may be strong enough to cause tsunami, Reuters writes, the Express newspaper broadcast.
The powerful quake had a six - mile [6 km] hole in the northeast of the town of Maine, at a depth of ten miles [10 km] below the surface. The cry occurred about 1: 30 minutes after midnight, causing thousands of people to flee their homes in fear.
This earthquake and earthquake that followed caused three landslides caused electricity to break off, damaged bridges and over 60 homes, as well as two hotels, the provincial governor's office announced.
Authorities said at least two people are covered by soil. Darno Mayid, director of the Disasters Agency in Western Slovenia, told Reuters that at least 35 people have been killed in Mayne and in the neighbouring district, Mamuyu, while the confirmed number of victims is expected to increase during the time when rescue teams are continuing their search under the rubble of buildings.
The authorities' initial records say 637 people were injured in Maine, while more than 20 in Mamuyu. So far, no tsunami alarm has been issued, but the Meteorology Agency has not ruled out the possibility of this happening if there are other powerful quakes.
