(AP) ? A powerful earthquake has killed at least 15 people and left 200 injured as it rocked a swath of northern Italy. Factories, warehouses and churches collapsed, dealing another blow to a region where thousands are still homeless from a stronger temblor just nine days ago.

The 5.8 magnitude quake drove thousands more from their homes in the Emilia Romagna region north of Bologna, one of Italy's most agriculturally and industrially productive areas.

A senior Italian official said at least seven people were missing and the number of homeless in the region has swelled to 14,000 people.
