Another Earthquake Strikes Italy

A magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck central Italy
on Thursday morning in the same region hit by
recent strong quakes, the U.S. Geological Survey
said.
It said the tremor, which struck at 1:35 a.m. (0035
GMT), was very shallow, only 6.2 miles (10 km)
deep, and was centred 32 miles (51.5 km)
southeast of Perugia.
Earthquakes measuring 5.5 and 6.1 hit the area on
October 26, followed by a 6.6 magnitude quake on
Sunday, the biggest tremor to strike Italy for 36
years.
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake is considered
moderate and is capable of causing considerable
damage. The shallow depth would have
intensified the shaking at the surface, reports
France 24.
