Italy: Magnitude-4.3 earthquake occurs in Calabria Region at around 00:54 Nov. 29

A magnitude-4.3 earthquake occurred in the central Calabria Region in southern Italy at around 00:54 Nov. 29. The epicenter was about 5 km (3 miles) north-northeast of Parenti. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 10 km (6 miles), and light shaking was probably felt in Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, southern Campania, and northeastern Sicily regions. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are possible over the coming days.

Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
