(ANSA) - CATANIA, 21 MAR - A seismic swarm of at least 16 shocks, with a magnitude between 1.1 and 2.8, was recorded on Etna from 5.34 to 11.34 on Etna by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology-Etna Observatory of Catania.
Most were located between Pietrafucile and Sant'Alfio.
The events of greatest energy, two magnitudes 2.3 (at 08.57 and 10.08) and one each 2.2 (at 10.24) and 2.8 (10.09) were clearly felt by the population of several countries on the slopes of the volcano, such as Zafferana Etnea.
At the moment there are no reports of damage to people or people.
For the Ingv-Oe of Catania the seismic swarm is a "normal evolution for a volcanic structure", events that "have always existed and will continue to exist" because they are part of "the geological history of Etna".
