The quake was felt by those who live in buildings, on the 10th floor or higher, and they said in Split that their chairs were shaking where they were sitting. It is still unknown if there were any damages or injuries.

- The cabinet and furniture were shaking. I'd say that it is around 4 on the Richter scale, it was certainly not pleasant - said the reader from Kastel for Index.hr.
