On 16 August 2018 at 18:19:04 UTC an earthquake with magnitude ML 5.2 (Mw 5.1) occurred in the Molise region (http://terremoti.ingv.it/event/20362671). The earthquake was felt in a large area including many regions of Central and Southern Italy. The seismologists on duty in the 24H seismic monitoring room of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) located the event in the province of Campobasso, 4 km south-east of Montecilfone and at a preliminary depth of 9 km. The same area was affected two days before by a MW 4.6 event (on August 14 at 23.48 Italian time (details of the event can be found at the webpage http://terremoti.ingv.it/event/20375681). Following the MW 5.1 event and the associated aftershock sequence, the SISMIKO Operational Group was activated for the installation of temporary seismic stations to integrate the permanent stations of the National Seismic Network deployed in the region.
