A strong earthquake measuring 6.5 magnitude struck central Italy this morning, causing the collapse of more buildings in small cities and towns already shaken by tremors in the past two months, although there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Two earthquakes have struck central Italy - the second registering at a magnitude of 6.1 - in the same region struck in August by a devastating quake that killed nearly 300 people.
A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit central Italy in the early hours of Wednesday morning, the United States Geological Survey said. Italian media outlets reported that at least four people had died in the disaster.
