- A massive landslide near Niscemi detached a roughly 4-kilometer cliff section after Storm Harry over the weekend.
- About 1,500 residents have been displaced and around 100 buildings, including a school, were evacuated.
- No casualties have been reported as authorities warn of fresh slides and homes now perched on new 30–45 meter vertical faces.
- Sicily’s Civil Protection widened the exclusion zone by 100 to 150 meters as the risk of further collapse remains high.
- Italy declared a state of emergency for Sicily, Sardinia and Calabria, with damages in Sicily estimated at more than €1.5 billion.
