Rescue workers were desperately searching through rubble in Albania after the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in decades. More here:
TIRANA/THUMANE - At least 13 people were killed when the most powerful earthquake to hit Albania in decades shook the capital Tirana and the country’s west and north on Tuesday, tearing down buildings and burying residents under rubble.
The quake was centered 30 km west of Tirana, the U.S. Geological Survey said, and was also felt across the Balkans and in the southern Italian region of Puglia. Rescuers in Thumane used a mechanical digger to claw at collapsed masonry and remove a tangle of metal and cables. Others groped with bare hands to clear rubble.
“We were awake because of the previous quakes, but the last one shook us around,” he told Reuters, referring to smaller tremors recorded in the hour before the main quake.
