5.7 magnitude earthquake in Bosnia kills 1

A strong earthquake struck Bosnia late Friday killing one person, injuring at least two others and sending hundreds of people fleeing from their homes.

The magnitude 5.7 earthquake hit 42 kilometers southeast of the city of Mostar at 11:07 p.m. local time the European Mediterranean Seismological Center said.

The quake was at a depth of 5 kilometers. A 28-year-old woman died of injuries after a boulder crashed down a hill and struck her house in the town of Stolac, near Mostar.

The earthquake was felt throughout the country and in neighboring Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro.
