"earthquake"

The earthquake jolted Petrinja, a small city about 50 km southeast of the Croatian capital Zagreb, at 12.19 p.m. on Tuesday, Xinhua news agency quoted the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) as saying.

The Nepal government decided to measure the exact height of the mountain amid debates that there might have been a change in it due to various reasons, including earthquake of 2015.

The rescue came a day after a four-year-old and a 14-year-old were found alive in the rubble of collapsed buildings in Bayrakli, providing hope that more people could still be rescued.

Turkey's toll from the quake is continuing to rise, with Environment Minister Murat Kurum reporting 83 dead.

The Friday afternoon earthquake, which the Istanbul-based Kandilli Institute said had a magnitude of 6.9, was centered in the Aegean northeast of Samos.

As per Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, the death toll stands at 17 so far, with 709 injured.
