At 10:22 PM there was another one measuring 4.4, all of which were felt in the nearby provinces of Abruzzo, Campania and southern Lazio as well. No injuries or deaths were reported but some buildings suffered minor damage. Telluric movement is almost constant in the area but the increase in intensity in recent days has led to concern.
