A second, 5.6 degree tremor has shaken the north of Italy Tuesday, after a 5.8 degree quake claimed the lives of at least 10.
According to the US Geology Survey, the epicenter of the earthquake was some 49 km northwest of Bologna.
No reports of destruction and casualties are available regarding the second tremor, but the first was vastly destructive, demolishing buildings that had suffered the 6.1 degree quake May 20.
11 aftershocks have been felt until 3 pm local time, ranging from 4 to 2.6 degrees on the Richter scale.
