A series of strong earthquakes rocked a wide area of central Italy, striking fear among residents rattled by a deadly tremor in August, but there were no reports of casualties and few serious injuries
The earthquakes toppled buildings and injured dozens, according to initial reports, hitting the same region that saw nearly 300 people killed in August 2016
The first 5.5-magnitude quake sent people running out of their houses on Wednesday Oct 26,2016, before the second, a more destructive 6.1-magnitude one, struck two hours later.
Rescuers working through the night and in the rain were struggling to assess the full extent of the disaster.
