An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 was recorded last night at 2:34 two kilometers from Frisanco , in the province of Pordenone.

The quake had its epicenter at a depth of 12 kilometers and was felt very strongly in the area, awakening people and sowing fear. Several people took to the streets terrified especially for the duration of several seconds.

In the last 30 days, 11 earthquakes have occurred within a radius of 30 kilometers around the epicenter area, Frisanco, between the municipalities of Arta terme, Tolmezzo to the east and, on the opposite side, in the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park.
