AP — Italian authorities say a powerful earthquake has killed at least 15 people and others may be missing in the latest deadly temblor to hit northern Italy.



The Tuesday morning quake had a 5.8 magnitude, rocking one of Italy's most productive regions.



Thousands of people have been living in tents in the area since a 6.0 magnitude quake devastated towns north of Bologna on May 20.



Factories, warehouses and churches collapsed in the mid-morning quake in the Emilia Romagna region.
