Passa alla versione italiana

The earth continues to shake in the Catania area. After yesterday's seismic swarm, a new tremor with a magnitude between 2.8 and 3.3 was recorded by the Ingv at 6:04 PM in Militello Val di Catania. Shortly before, at 5:39 PM, a tremor with a magnitude of 2.6 was detected 2 kilometers southwest of Ragalna, at a depth of 5 kilometers. The events, although of minor magnitude, are concerning mainly because they follow what happened yesterday, when starting from 7:05 AM a first tremor with a magnitude of 4.5 occurred, the strongest of the day, which caused several damages in Ragalna, the epicenter of the quake.

Yesterday, in the area, there were at least fifteen tremors recorded by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.
