US EditionEarthquake Damages Part of Pompeii Site in Southern Italy
- A minor earthquake with magnitude 3.2 struck southern Italy on Thursday morning, damaging a wall and a vault at the Pompeii site.
- The quake was the latest in a series of tremors centered near the Campi Flegrei supervolcano close to Naples, which previously caused damage in 1980.
- No injuries occurred, and the damaged structure contained neither frescoes nor movable relics, while site director Gabriel Zuchtriegel said further inspections are underway.
- Pompeii, destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, is a 170-acre World Heritage Site attracting about 2.5 million visitors annually.
- The partial collapse underscores the site's vulnerability to natural events and suggests ongoing monitoring is essential to protect its preservation.
