According to an AFP news report, at least 120 people have died after a powerful earthquake struck a remote area of central Italy Wednesday, said Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, warning that the figure could still rise.
Some 368 people were injured in the tremor, he said at a press conference in the Rieti region, not far from the epicentre of the 6.0-6.2 magnitude quake.
“This is not a final toll,” Renzi added.
