Italy's most violent earthquake in decades; 6.6 magnitude

Sunday's earthquake in Italy measured magnitude 6.6, larger than August's quake and the aftershocks last week. The quakes come nearly two months after a major earthquake killed almost 300 people and destroyed several towns. A number of injuries were reported but no deaths so far. Many locals were evacuated after last week's quakes. The epicentre of the quake was 68km south-east of the regional centre of Perugia and close to the small town of Norcia.
