A “major seismic swarm” of earthquakes has hit Italy’s Naples region, causing panicked residents to flee into the streets for the third time in a year.
A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck the volcanic area of Campi Flegrei around Naples in southern Italy at 12.07 pm, at a depth of three kilometres, according to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. It was preceded by two earthquakes of a 2.1 magnitude and followed by a 3.5 quake 15 minutes later.
