ROME (CBSNEWS.COM/AP) - A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 has rocked the same area of central and southern Italy hit by quake in August and a pair of aftershocks last week, sending already quake-damaged buildings crumbling after a week of temblors that have left thousands homeless.
The head of Italy's civil protection agency, Fabrizio Curcio, said there were no immediate reports of deaths, but said some people had suffered injuries as numerous buildings that had resisted the previous temblors collapsed. He did not provide details on the injured.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi immediately vowed Sunday that Italy will rebuild the homes, churches and other structures destroyed in the country's latest earthquake.
