Update 14:57 UTC : More witnesses from Ogulin report damage. Some say cracks with a length of more then a meter appeared in their houses. Other houses were “damaged on all sites”.
We remember: Ogulin is 18 km northeast of the epicenter. There are some villages closer to the epicenter. Similar damage could be caused there.

Update 14:39 UTC : More people from Ogulin reported damage to their houses, mainly as a comment to a newspaper article. Also a damaged balkony is reported from Novi Vinoloski, a coastal town. But no of these reports is confirmed by authorities, so it is still some doubt left, whether there reported damage is real.
Croatian seismologist said the quake was felt with a strong intensity (VI – VII, Mercalli Scale) on epicenter, which would explain the damage.

Update 14:23 UTC : Cracked windows are reported from people near the epicenter.

Update 14:10 UTC : A reader of “dnevrik” reported them a crack appered in his house in Ogulin, 18 km from the EMSC epicenter location. Nevertheless, there is no official confirmation of damage so far.

This quake was well felt in Zagreb, Ljubljana (Slowenia) and Banja Luka (Bosnia-Herzegowina).
