Italian authorities say the death toll in central Italy's devastating earthquake has risen to 281, the New York Times reported.

Civil protection officials gave the updated toll late Friday, raising it from 278 after three more bodies were found in Amatrice, the town most badly affected by the violent temblor that hit central Italy this week.

Officials said 221 people were killed in Amatrice, 11 in Accumoli and 49 in Arquata del Tronto.
