Albania declares day of mourning, with Albanian flags on official buildings to fly at half-staff, following a quake that killed at least 21 and injured over 600 people
Emergency personnel work at the site of the collapsed building in Durres after an earthquake shook Albania, November 26, 2019.
"It is a dramatic moment where we should preserve calm, stay alongside each other to cope with this shock," Prime Minister Edi Rama said. The worst-hit areas were Durres, where 11 of the dead were found in collapsed buildings, and the northern town of Thumane, where another five bodies were pulled from the rubble, the defence ministry said. In total at least three hotels, a residential villa and an apartment building collapsed in Durres, and one apartment building in Thumane.
Thoma Nika, a 58-year-old who lived in the building, said he believed there were at least six people buried under rubble.
