A strong, 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck in the Tyrrhenian Sea on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 12:03 a.m. Central European time about 10 miles southeast of Sant’Angelo, Italy, data from the agency shows.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
