4.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Near Supervolcano in Naples

The tremor caused structural damage, injured one person, and prompted evacuations in the Phlegraean Fields region.

The earthquake, recorded at 1:25 AM, had its epicenter in the Phlegraean Fields, a region of high volcanic activity near Naples.
The 4.4-magnitude tremor was followed by a 1.6-magnitude aftershock and four additional smaller aftershocks.
Significant damage was reported in areas such as Pozzuoli, Bacoli, and the Naples districts of Fuorigrotta and Bagnoli, where a roof collapse injured one person.
Residents evacuated their homes in fear, with many spending the night in emergency shelters, leading to reports of chaotic scenes.
The Phlegraean Fields have been under a yellow alert for eleven years due to ongoing seismic activity, with this quake matching the strongest in the area since 1984.
