Italian seismologists said the 4.4 magnitude tremor struck at 01:25 local time (00:25 GMT) on Thursday at a shallow depth of 3km (two miles), on the coast between Pozzuoli and Bagnoli.

The quake was felt across Naples and power supplies were disrupted in parts of the city.

Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said that there was "no evidence" that an eruption of the nearby Campi Flegrei volcanic crater was imminent.

In Bagnoli, close to the quake's epicentre, a woman was pulled from the rubble of a partially collapsed house with light injuries.
