In the nearby town of Sisak, also badly damaged by the quake, schools opened their sports halls to those who could not sleep at home.
The earthquake, which hit around 1130 GMT according to the US Geological Survey, rattled Petrinja and the surrounding area just a day after a smaller earthquake struck in the same vicinity, causing some damage to buildings.
