Naples struck by 4.4-magnitude quake causing minor damage and light injuries

Read Time:34 Second


The southern Italian city of Naples was struck by a 4.4-magnitude quake early Thursday that caused only minor damage. Officials said 11 people sought hospital treatment, the most serious suffering contusions after part of a ceiling collapsed. The quake was the strongest in recorded history around the Phlegrean Fields, a sprawling area of ancient volcanoes that encompasses a large part of the Naples metropolitan area. It matched the magnitude of another quake in the same area last May and has put the population on alert. Residents shaken awake by the early-morning quake sought safety in the streets. The temblor was centered just offshore from Pozzuoli, a seaside suburb.
