Two earthquakes shake central Italy

The quakes have been felt in the region of Marche, one of the most affected by the earthquake of August, in which 297 people died.

Two powerful earthquakes have rocked Wednesday zones of central Italy which had suffered an earthquake of August and have caused tremors and scenes of panic in several cities, including the capital, Rome.
The first quake of magnitude 5.4 degrees on the Richter scale occurred at 19:11 hours, and it has been felt in the center of the country, in the area of the region of Marche, shaken last 24 August by another earthquake, also in the Italian capital, according to local media.
About two hours later, and after several minor aftershocks, seismographs have recorded another powerful earthquake of 6.2 degrees on the Richter scale.
Firefighters have recognized that this is a "serious" Indeed, but for the moment no locality has confirmed fatalities resulting directly from the tremors.
After the earthquake, the mayor of L'Aquila, Massimo Cialente, has confirmed that its territory has no substantial damage, told the television channel SkyTG24.
Earthquakes occur two months after the August 24, when a magnitude 6 earthquake killed 297 people and extensive damage in central Italy, especially in the towns of Amatrice, Accumoli and Arquata del Tronto.
