No Pinoy casualties in Italy quake, says DFA

No Filipino casualties have been reported in the 6.6-magnitude earthquake that rocked central Italy Sunday.

The information came from a report on GMA News' Unang Balita on Monday, which quoted DFA spokesperson Charles Jose.

The earthquake was the third recorded in two months. It was the biggest since the August 24 earthquake that killed almost 300 people.

The quake's epicenter was recorded in the town of Norcia, and was felt miles away in Rome.

The quake also caused huge infrastructure damage in several areas, including the historic Basilica of St. Benedict. — Kathrina Charmaine Alvarez/RSJ, GMA News
