A 4.1-magnitude earthquake was recorded shortly after midnight in Italy, causing fear among residents in several parts of the country. According to the reported data, the epicenter was in Pizzone, in the province of Isernia, near the border with Abruzzo and Lazio.
Tremors felt in several provinces
The earthquake lasted several seconds and was felt throughout the area around the epicenter. The tremors were also reportedly felt in the provinces of Chieti, L’Aquila and Caserta.
Fear prompted many residents to go out into the streets during the night, a common reaction in such cases, especially when the tremors are felt across several areas at once.
Epicenter in Pizzone at a depth of 10 kilometers
According to the published data, the earthquake’s epicenter was in the Pizzone area, while the depth was calculated at around 10 kilometers.
The geographical position of the area, on the border with Abruzzo and Lazio, caused the tremors to be felt beyond the municipality where the main shock was recorded.
So far, no damage or injuries reported
At this time, there are no reports of material damage or injuries. However, the reaction of residents shows that the tremor was strong enough to trigger alarm during the night.
In such cases, the initial toll remains preliminary until on-the-ground checks are completed by local authorities.
Second aftershock in the same area
Another seismic tremor with a magnitude of 2.2 was felt in the same area at 3:41 a.m.
According to the reported data, this second tremor was recorded at a depth of 9 kilometers.
The event has renewed concern in an area of Italy where seismic tremors are followed with high sensitivity by residents.
So far, the information points to panic and people going out into the streets, but no consequences for people or infrastructure.
