An earthquake of significant magnitude was felt tonight in Skopje and several other cities across the country. The tremor occurred at 10:05 PM, and according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), its magnitude measured 4.9 on the Richter scale. <\/p>\n

According to initial reports, the epicenter was located in the Prizren area, near the border between Kosovo and Macedonia. The earthquake occurred at a relatively shallow depth of around five kilometers, which caused the tremor to be felt more strongly across the wider region. <\/p>\n
