Twin Earthquake occurred in Central Italy following the news update from aljazeera but death was not recorded according to findings after the twin earthquakes caused severe damage in the area that was hit two months ago.
A series of strong earthquakes frequently occurs in a wide area of central Italy, injecting fear into the residents as they were rattled by a deadly tremor in August, but fortunately, there were no casualties reported but few were seriously injured.
The First earthquake of 5.5-magnitude occurred and sent people running out of their houses on Wednesday, before the second, a more destructive 6.1-magnitude one, struck two hours later.
Rescuers working through the night in the rain were struggling to assess the full extent of the quake.
According to the news; "About five hours after the first quake, Civil Protection department chief Fabrizio Curcio said "tens" of people were reported hurt but only four suffered serious, non-life threatening injuries.
The reports are not as catastrophic as we feared," he said
The quakes affected the capital Rome, sending residents running out of their houses and into the streets.
The second was felt as far away as Venice in the far north, and Naples, south of the capital.
"Many houses have collapsed. Our town is finished," Marco Rinaldi, mayor of the mountain town of Ussita, told Sky Italy television by telephone.
"The second quake was a long, terrible one," he said.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) registered a first 5.5-magnitude quake at 19:10 local time (17:10 GMT).
The mayor of Serravalle del Chienti, Gabriele Santamarianova, described the quake saying that they were felt "like bombs were falling".
"We saw a cloud of dust, we don't yet know what has fallen down. We'll see once the sun comes up."
Castel Sant'Angelo mayor Mauro Falcucci told Sky: "There is no electricity. There are bound to be house collapses. On top of this there are torrential rains."
"It is not very easy to make assessments in the dark and the weather is bad in the whole region. We will have to see more precisely in the light of day," said Curcio.
For people unable to return home immediately, civil protection arranged accommodation in gyms and prepared to reopen some of the tent camps which were set up after the August earthquake.
