An earthquake registering 4.1 on
the Richter scale alarmed local residents across the Friuli and
Veneto areas of northeastern Italy early Friday morning, but no
damage or injuries were reported as a result, local authorities
said.
Four aftershocks with a magnitude of less than 2 were also
recorded, said Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and
Vulcanology (INGV).
The earthquake's epicenter, between Moggio Udinese and
Venzone, is part of a noted seismic zone, where in 1976 a
devastating 6.5-magnitude earthquake killed nearly 1,000 people.
