But hours after the temblors hit, there were no reports of serious inju- ries or signs of people trapped in rub- ble, said the head of Italy’s civil pro- tection agency, Fabrizio Curcio. A handful of people were treated for slight injuries or anxiety at area hos- pitals in the most affected regions of Umbria and Le Marche, he said. A 73-year-old man died of a heart attack, possibly brought on by the quakes, lo- cal authorities told the ANSA news agency. “All told, the information so far is that it’s not as catastrophic” as it could have been, Curcio said. The temblors were actually after- shocks to the Aug. 24 quake that struck a broad swath of central Italy, demol- ishing buildings in three towns and their hamlets, seismologists said. Sev- eral towns this time around also suf- fered serious damage, with homes in the epicenter of Visso spilling out into the street. The first struck at 7:10 p.m. and car- ried a magnitude of 5.4. But the second one was eight times stronger at 6.1, ac- cording to the U.S. Geological Survey. Because many residents had already left their homes with plans to spend the night in their cars or elsewhere, they weren’t home when the second af- tershock hit two hours later, possibly saving lives, officials said. “It was an unheard-of violence.

Unmarked aircraft that had been monitoring pro- testers were withdrawn late in the day, and some activists who had been on hand for a possible con- frontation headed back to a larger protest camp on federal land.

We could go down there at any time,” he said. “We’re trying not to.” Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said au- thorities would continue to try for a peaceful res- olution but that “we are here to enforce the law as needed.” Protesters vowed to stay put, at one point chanting “Stand in peace against the beast.” “We’re going to hold this ground,” said protester Mekasi Camp Horinek. “I’m here to die if I have to. I don’t want to die but I will,” said Didi Banerji, who lives in Toronto but is originally from the Spirit Lake Sioux reser- vation in North Dakota. Activists fear the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline could harm cultural sites and drinking water for the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. Energy Transfer Part- ners, which is building the $3.8 billion pipeline, said Tuesday that the pro- testers were trespassing and that “lawless behav- ior will not be tolerated.”
