TIRANA—At least four people died after the most powerful earthquake to hit Albania in decades rocked the capital of Tirana and surrounding region early on Tuesday, causing several buildings to collapse and burying residents in the rubble.
The 6.4 magnitude quake struck shortly before 4 a.m. local time, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, the second powerful tremor to hit the region in two months.
