Aftershock reportedly kills at least one in Italy
ROME (Reuters) - A 5.6 magnitude aftershock that struck the central Italian area devastated by Monday's earthquake has killed at least one person, Italy's ANSA news agency reported on Tuesday, without citing a source.
The aftershock -- the most powerful since Monday's 5.8 to 6.3 magnitude quake -- struck the Abruzzo region at 7.47 p.m. (6:47 p.m. British time).
It felled structures in the already battered medieval city of L'Aquila and was felt as far away as Rome, where furniture shook on the upper floors of buildings, witnesses said.
