Preliminary Magnitude 4.6 Earthquake Strikes Campi Flegrei, Italy
A preliminary magnitude 4.6 earthquake recently shook the Campi Flegrei volcanic area in Italy, occurring at a shallow depth of 4.9 kilometers. This event marks the latest in a series of seismic swarms that have been ongoing in this active caldera near Naples.
Ongoing Seismic Activity at Campi Flegrei
Campi Flegrei is a large volcanic caldera known for its potential volcanic hazards. Over the past several months, authorities have reported continuous seismic swarms — numerous small to moderate earthquakes occurring in clusters. The recent magnitude 4.6 quake is among the strongest recorded in this swarm.
Monitoring and Safety Measures
Given the active nature of Campi Flegrei and its proximity to densely populated areas around Naples, local and national geological agencies are closely monitoring seismic and volcanic activity. Experts are analyzing data in real time to assess any changes in the risk level and to prepare timely warnings if needed.

All hypotheses on Covid-19 origins 'remain on the table': WHO chief
All hypotheses on how the Covid-19 pandemic began remain on the table, the World Health Organization said following an inconclusive investigation into the global catastrophe's origins. "As things stand, all hypotheses must remain on the table, including zoonotic spillover and lab leak," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference, adding that much of the required information requested, notably from China, had not been provided.

Bright Fireball Reported Across Southeast U.S. Sky
June 26, 2025 – Numerous eyewitnesses across the Southeast United States reported seeing a bright fireball streak across the daytime sky earlier today. While official confirmation is still pending, preliminary satellite data may offer a clue. Between 12:51 and 12:56 PM EDT, a streak of activity was detected by satellite-based lightning sensors in a clear-sky area over the North Carolina–Virginia border, specifically above Gasburg, Virginia. Notably, this was not accompanied by any thunderstorm activity, supporting the possibility of a meteor rather than atmospheric lightning. No ground impact or damage has been reported as of now, and the American Meteor Society is likely to investigate further as more reports are submitted. Residents who witnessed the fireball are encouraged to report their sightings, photos, or videos to local authorities or online meteor tracking organizations. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
