EARTHQUAKE IN ALBANIA AT LEAST 46 DEAD
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit Albania early on Tuesday morning, causing several buildings to collapse. The official death toll reached 46 by Friday morning, while the fate of many others remains unknown.
At least 600 people have suffered injuries. The search for survivors continues feverishly at the moment.
