During the night, an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 struck the area of Montecilfone, in the province of Campobasso. The seismic event occurred shortly before 2:00 am, at a distance of about 20 kilometers from Termoli. The news was communicated by the Seismic Room of the INGV in Rome.
The earthquake’s hypocenter was located at a depth of 18 km. This value indicates that the epicenter was relatively shallow, which could explain the local population’s perception of the earthquake. However, no damage to people or structures has been reported at this time.
According to experts, the magnitude and depth of the earthquake do not appear to have caused serious consequences in the surrounding areas.
The Montecilfone area and surrounding territories are known for their seismic activity, although events of this magnitude are not uncommon. It is essential that residents and local authorities remain highly prepared to deal with any future emergencies. Emergency management in response to seismic events like this is a priority for institutions. Investing in more resilient infrastructure and promoting information among the population are crucial steps to mitigate the risks associated with earthquakes. As seismic monitoring continues, it remains important to maintain a focus on community safety and preparedness. The relevant authorities will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation, providing useful updates to the population.
