A 5.6 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale hit the area of Sicily in southern Italy on Friday, causing seismic shocks in the region.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre ( EMSC, the earthquake is recorded at 12:19 local time, at a depth of about six miles [10 km] below the surface of the earth.
The quake was located some 90 miles [99 km] northeast of Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and 75 miles [76 km] northwest of Capo d’Orlando.
Because of its relatively low depth, the shocks may have been felt even in the surrounding areas. However, the impact of the earthquake depends on distance, local conditions, and the sustainability of buildings.
Until the publication of this information, there were no reports of material damage or hurt persons.
Authorities and seismological services are continuing monitoring seismic activity in the region.
