Campi Flegrei, seismic swarm still ongoing: 18 shocks, the last one of magnitude 2.0 at 15:51

Pozzuoli – Seismic activity continues in the Campi Flegrei, where a swarm of earthquakes has been keeping the population and experts on edge since this morning.

Since 6:39 am today, June 5, 2025, the Vesuvius Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) has recorded 18 seismic events, with magnitudes between 1.0 and 3.2.

The last shock, of magnitude 2.0, was detected at 15:51 pm, confirming the continuity of a phenomenon that keeps the attention high in the Phlegraean area.

According to the data of theINGV, nine of the recorded tremors exceeded magnitude 1.0, with the peak reached by an event of magnitude 3.2, distinctly felt by the population, especially in the municipalities of Pozzuoli, Bacoli and the surrounding areas.

 The frequency of tremors has increased since this morning

At the moment, no damage to property or people has been reported, but the frequency of the tremors is fueling concern among residents, who are already accustomed to living with the activity of the Phlegraean supervolcano.

The experts of the Vesuvius Observatory constantly monitor the situation, analyzing the data to evaluate any variations in the geophysical and geochemical parameters of the area.

However, the persistence of close tremors keeps the guard up, with local authorities ready to intervene if necessary.

The regional Civil Protection, in coordination with the municipalities in the area, has intensified information activities for the population, inviting them to remain calm and follow the indications of the emergency plans.

“We are monitoring the situation in real time, in close collaboration with the INGV”, declared a spokesperson for the Municipality of Pozzuoli. “At the moment there are no elements that justify alarm, but we remain vigilant.”

The resignation of the inhabitants: "We're used to it now"

Meanwhile, residents say they have felt t, especially those with a magnitude greater than 2.0, with slight tremors and dull noises that have caused concern. “We're used to it now, but every time it's a blow to the heart”, commented a resident of Pozzuoli. “Let’s hope it ends soon.”

INGV will continue to provide constant updates on the evolution of the seismic swarm, while the scientific community reiterates the importance of continuous monitoring to better understand the caldera's activity and prevent any risks.

Meanwhile, the Campi Flegrei remain in the spotlight, with the population carefully watching developments in the next few hours.
