A 4.7-magnitude earthquake shook the volcanic region near Naples, Italy, on Friday, July 31, 2026, according to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). The quake's epicenter was located in the Phlegraean Fields, a volcanic area west of Naples.
Authorities reported no immediate requests for emergency assistance. The Italian Civil Protection department said there were no reports of damage or injuries, though some residents in the area felt a strong shaking.
The Phlegraean Fields is one of the most seismically active regions in Italy, and earthquakes of this magnitude are not uncommon. The area is closely monitored due to its volcanic nature and high population density.
Local officials urged residents to remain calm and follow official safety guidelines. The quake did not trigger any tsunami warnings, as it occurred on land.
