ROME: An earthquake hit the tourist-packed Italian holiday island of Ischia on Monday night, collapsing buildings, killing at least one person and injuring more than 25, officials said.
Residents and tourists on the island off the coast of Naples ran out on to the narrow streets from homes and hotels. Fearing aftershocks, many decided to leave the island early.
Television images showed that about six buildings in the town of Casamicciola including a church had collapsed in the quake, which hit at 8:57 p.m. (1857 GMT). (Agencies)
