An earthquake in northern Italy has killed at least three people and caused thousands of others to flee into the streets, officials say.

The 5.9-magnitude quake struck in the middle of the night, about 35km (22 miles) north of the city of Bologna.

The officials say the three victims died when the buildings they were working overnight collapsed.

Italian TV showed collapsed factories and church steeples in the region. Aftershocks have been reported.
