On Sunday, the volcano Neapoli in Italy was struck by a series of earthquakes, the strongest of which had a magnitude of 3.9 on the Richter scale, reported the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. The epicenter of the strongest earthquake was located in the area of the Phlegraean volcanic field, situated just a few kilometers from the center of the volcano, located in the south of the country.
The second strongest earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 occurred in the region over the past 12 hours. In the last three days in this region, there have been two or more earthquakes with a magnitude of 2 or higher. No preliminary reports have been made regarding damages or casualties, but the municipality of Pozzuoli today suspended classes in schools as a precautionary measure, according to the mayor of Giogio Manzoni.
Recently, a new wave of earthquakes began in the Phlegraean volcanic field, and there were also earthquakes of more significant magnitude. Geologically, this field is the largest active volcano in Europe and is known for its high level of volcanic activity.
