An Interior Ministry spokesman told Reuters he was informed one person died when they jumped out of a window during the shaking and another died in a building collapse.
"Firefighters and army staff are helping residents under the rubble," the official said.
People reported seeing cracks in their apartment walls and were seen leaving homes to go to open areas.
Local media reported a restaurant was destroyed in western Durres.
