Earthquake Toll in Tuscany Shakes Italy Center
In Tuscania central Italy a severe earthquake struck causing at least 14 dead and many injured. Rescue workers fear higher casualties as rubble blocks streets and key buildings including churches and a hospital collapse. Premier Colombo ordered interior ministry officials to coordinate relief while soldiers and police aid the salvage, with nightfall plunging the town into darkness. The disaster disrupts a historic Etruscan town where residents flee after the first tremor.
