A strong earthquake of 6.6 magnitude struck central Italy on Sunday morning, injuring at least 20 people, the strongest earthquake in the country in more than three decades.

Fire services and Rescue said six people were rescued from the rubble in Norcia, about 6 kilometres north of the epicentre. There were no immediate reports of deaths, but the head of civil protection, Fabrizio Curcio, warned that some villages were cut off by cuts on the roads, and the impact had not yet been evaluated.
With roads closed by falling debris, helicopters were used to transport the wounded to the hospital in Foligno, about 30 kilometres north-west, Curcio said.
