Rome, October 27 2016
La seismic sequence in central Italy, which began with the Mw 6.0 magnitude event on August 24 at 03:36, is still in full swing, and yesterday, 26 October,they occurredtwo strong shocksin an area adjacent to the one active in recent weeks, which extends from the Visso (MC) area northwards by about 10 km, to the center of Pieve Torina (MC).
The strongest aftershocks since 19.10 yesterday, 26 October, are shown in the table:

From 19.10 yesterday (time of the magnitude 5.4 earthquake) the National Seismic Networkof the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) has located over 200 events: I'm over 40 thoseincluding magnitude between 3 and 4, three localized earthquakes dimagnitude between 4 and 5 e two dimagnitude greater than 5.
Map of the northern part of the seismic sequence from 24 August 2016 to 27 October 2016 (8.00 am). The white star is the magnitude 5.4 event on August 24. The two red stars are the earthquakes that occurred yesterday, October 26, with a magnitude of ML 5.4 at 19.10 (southern star) and a magnitude 5.9 at 21.18 (the northernmost star).
Since August 24, 2016, they have been located overall over 18000 events,in an area that extends for over 60 kilometersin NNO-SSE direction along the Apennine chain: they are approx 290 thoseincluding magnitude between 3 and 4,18 localized earthquakes dimagnitude between 4 and 5 e 4 ones dimagnitude greater than 5.
The map of the seismic sequence from 24 August 2016 to 27 October 2016 (8.00 am). The white stars are the two events of magnitude 6.0 and 5.4 on August 24th. The two red stars are the earthquakes that occurred yesterday, October 26, with a magnitude of ML 5.4 at 19.10 (southern star) and a magnitude 5.9 at 21.18 (the northernmost star).
