Naples region struck by magnitude 4.7 earthquake FAST-MOVING

Naples earthquake Campi Flegrei magnitude 4.7 power outage train suspension

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake hit the Campi Flegrei area near Naples on 31 July 2026 at 19:46 local time. The epicentre was located about 5 km southeast of Pozzuoli at a depth of roughly 3 km. The tremor was the strongest recorded in the region in about four decades and was linked to a recent increase in bradyseismic activity.

No major injuries were reported; eight to ten people suffered light injuries. Structural damage included the collapse of a building façade in Pozzuoli, fallen plaster and cracks in several districts. Power outages and stuck elevators were reported, and temporary black‑outs affected neighbourhoods such as Pizzofalcone and Fuorigrotta.

Rail and metro services were suspended as a precaution, including the Cumana and Circumflegrea lines and high‑speed rail through the Naples hub. Local authorities – the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), civil‑protection agencies, the fire brigade and the mayor of Pozzuoli, Gigi Manzoni – activated emergency coordination centres and urged residents to stay calm.
