An earthquake measuring 4.4 magnitude occurred at a depth of 3 kilometers in Pozzuoli at 01:25 local time and was felt in nearby cities in Italy, according to the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

The strong tremors caused debris to fall onto the streets, causing damage to buildings and vehicles in Pozzuoli and Bagnoli and were felt all across Naples.

A woman was pulled out of the rubble injured after a house in Bagnoli partially collapsed.

Many people in the region spent the night on the streets.
