On March 4, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake was recorded on the Etna volcano, near Catania, around 7 AM. The tremor was felt across at least three provinces in Eastern Sicily: Catania, Messina, and Siracusa. The earthquake was monitored by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) from its Etna Observatory in Catania. The epicenter was determined to be on Etna, north-west of Ragalna, at a depth of four kilometers. Earlier that morning, the INGV also noted a smaller earthquake of magnitude 2.3 off the northeastern coast of Sicily (Messina), with its epicenter located 126 kilometers deep. This indicates ongoing tectonic activity in the region, particularly around the active volcano, which is known for its frequent eruptions and seismic events. While the earthquake was widely felt, there have been no reported damages or injuries, which is reassuring for the residents of the affected provinces who may have been startled by the tremor. Continuous monitoring of seismic activity is crucial in this volcanic region to ensure the safety of the local population and to manage potential risks associated with such geological events.
