A new earthquake struck Italy today, in one of the areas that the Civil Protection Department considers to be at very high risk of an earthquake
A new earthquake today in Italy caused concern among the population, who indistinctly felt the 3.5 earthquake recorded by the seismographs in the middle of the night. The earthquake took place in an area of our country with a high earthquake risk, because historically there have been many strong earthquakes that have occurred in this area of Southern Italy.
The earth still shakes at night in the southern part of our country. Around 2.11 am between Sunday 21 April and Monday 22 April 2024, the population was woken up in province of Reggio Calabria.
According to what was found by seismographs of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), last night's earthquake was decidedly strong, with a magnitude of 3.5. At the moment there are no reports of damage to property or particular problems for people, who were just scared.
The earthquake last night in the province of Reggio Calabria it had a hypocenter 16 kilometers deep. The epicenter, however, would be located approximately four kilometers from the municipalities of Cittanova and Molochio.
The population has felt the shock very well. Almost everyone was sleeping at that time and the earthquake woke up the people who were in the area affected by the quake. Many messages on social media from cities near the epicenter area.

All the people in the towns that are 10 kilometers from the epicenter felt the earthquake well.
Even in Sicily, in the city of Messina, someone felt the earthquake. About an hour later, seismographs detected a new earthquake of magnitude 2.6, this time 4 kilometers from Molochio, at a depth of 15 km. In Southern Italy, therefore, it is not just the tremors in the Campi Flegrei that are causing concern in recent days.
