Latest quake sparks fear around Naples, Italy
- A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck the Campi Flegrei volcanic area near Naples on May 13 at 12:07 pm, followed by smaller quakes.
- The earthquake occurred amid a major seismic swarm linked to bradyseism causing slow ground movements and heightened activity in the region.
- Local authorities suspended the Naples metro and cable car as a precaution, evacuated schools, and firefighters inspected building stability without injury reports.

- Specialists maintain that despite intense recent seismicity affecting 500,000 residents, a full eruption in Campi Flegrei remains unlikely in the near future.
