5.6-magnitude earthquake in Albania injures 68 - UPI.com
UPI reports: "A 5.6-magnitude earthquake hit Albania on Saturday about 4 miles north of the city of Durres, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The temblor injured 68 people and damaged 46 buildings, Albanian Minister of Defense Olta Xhacka said. The quake struck around 4 p.m., followed by a weaker aftershock. It was the country's strongest earthquake in the past 30 years."

Comment: Note the location (not on the "ring of fire") and note as well that it was largest in that country in the past 30 years.
