Italy was struck by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake that killed at least 15 people in the northern region of Emilia Romagna, the second fatal temblor in the country this month.

The quake, which came after one of a similar magnitude that killed seven people on May 20, hit the province of Modena at 9 a.m., the Civil Protection Agency said on its website. Seven people are missing and about 200 were injured, Antonio Catricala, Italy’s Cabinet Undersecretary, told Parliament.
