Bosnia and Herzegovina was struck by two earthquakes on the morning of November 7, confirmed the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).

The first earthquake, measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale, occurred at 7:59 a.m., with its epicenter located near the border between BiH and Montenegro, about 20 kilometers from Foča and approximately 70 kilometers from Sarajevo.

The second earthquake took place at 8:24 a.m., registering a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale. According to the EMSC, the epicenter of this quake was 46 kilometers southwest of Zenica, near Bugojno, and 11 kilometers northwest of the city itself, reports Vijesti.ba.

Users reported feeling the tremors via the EMSC application in several parts of the country, particularly in eastern and central Bosnia. Some residents noted that objects in homes and apartments briefly shook.

At this time, there is no information about any material damage, though earthquakes of this intensity typically do not cause significant consequences.

Earthquakes with magnitudes between 3 and 4 on the Richter scale are classified as mild, noticeable to people, but rarely causing damage to structures.
