-FYI after a bit of resarch about this quake
This is probably the largest Croatian earthquake since 1667.
The ex-Yugoslav Balkans are a forgotten area for seismicity but historically large & seriously damaging quakes have struck in this complex mountainous region.

According to state HRT television, another four people were killed in villages near the area. “The center of #Petrinja as it used to be no longer exists,” HRT reported, saying people remained inside collapsed buildings.
The biggest part of central Petrinja is in a red zone, which means that most of the buildings are not usable. The army has 500 places ready in barracks to house people, while others will be accommodated in nearby hotels and other places.
