Campi Flegrei Volcano
Strongest Earthquake in 40 Years Strikes Near Italy's Supervolcano, Evacuations Underway
A series of earthquakes struck Italy's Campi Flegrei super volcano, with the strongest being a 4.4-magnitude tremor at a depth of 3 kilometers. The earthquake was part of a "seismic swarm" that saw over 150 quakes recorded overnight, including one registered shortly after 8:00 pm on Monday evening. The tremors caused cracks in walls and falling cornices, with the strongest quake being felt strongly in Naples and Pozzuoli. The Campi Flegrei supervolcano is home to at least 360,000 people across seven inhabited hubs, prompting schools to close on Tuesday and a cluster of towns and districts in Naples to be affected.
