Earthquake leaves four minor injuries in Pozzuoli: Rescue Coordination Center activated

Naples – A powerful earthquake shook the Phlegraean Fields and the entire Neapolitan hinterland. The quake, recorded by INGV seismographs at 19:46 PM with a magnitude of 4.7 and epicenter in Pozzuoli, was the most intense event since the recent bradyseismic earthquake returned to the area.

The provisional toll is four minor injuries, hospitalized with yellow code; fortunately, their conditions are not worrying.

Infrastructure checks activated

The authorities responded immediately. The National Roads Authority (ANAS) activated emergency protocols to inspect the province's main roads—including the Statale Domitiana, the Asse Mediano, and the sections connecting Pozzuoli, Quarto, Giugliano, and Naples. Initial assessments revealed no structural damage to the road system.

 A high-voltage pylon collapsed in Agnano.

The City of Naples reports the partial collapse of a high-voltage pylon located in the Agnano area, a key component of the city's electricity grid. E-Distribuzione technicians, the city administration announced, responded to the emergency and have already backed up most of the affected customers through the secondary network of their substations, ensuring initial successful restoration of power across a large area of ​​the city.

However, localized critical issues remain. Specifically, the operations center has received reports of ongoing power losses in the Fuorigrotta and Bagnoli neighborhoods. Emergency response teams are working on-site to restore full grid functionality as quickly as possible.

The Rescue Coordination Center has been summoned

The Prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, immediately contacted the mayors of the municipalities closest to the epicenter, Pozzuoli and Bacoli, and ordered an urgent meeting of the Relief Coordination Center (CCS). The operational team will monitor the situation both in the Phlegraean Fields and in the city of Naples, where the earthquake was clearly felt by the population, forcing many people into the streets.
