Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Naples Residents Sleep Outdoors After Overnight Earthquake

Caption: Naples Residents Sleep Outdoors After Overnight Earthquake. A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Naples at 01:25 local time, shaking buildings and sending rubble crashing down. Many residents fled their homes, spending the night outside in fear of aftershocks. The quake, centered between Pozzuoli and Bagnoli at a shallow depth of 3km, disrupted power supplies. Seismologists confirmed there is "no evidence" of an imminent eruption from nearby Mount Vesuvius. In Bagnoli, a partially collapsed house left one woman with light injuries. The bell tower of a local church was damaged, and several cars had shattered windscreens. Schools closed for structural checks. The tremor was the strongest in the Campi Flegrei area in 40 years and was followed by multiple aftershocks. Experts warn that the ground is rising at an accelerated rate, tripling to 3cm per month. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni remains in close contact with officials as residents voice growing concerns over increased seismic activity in the region. Civil protection teams are assessing risks and response measures. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
