Mount Etna spewed lava and a five-kilometer column of ash during the eruption

Another eruption of the Etna volcano began in Italian Sicily the night before, during which it threw out a plume of lava and a five-kilometer column of ash.

About this informs ANSA.

It is noted that the ejected ash and lapilli (small pieces of lava solidified in flight) resembled a large column. Volcanic ash from Mount Etna fell on nearby Catania, but the airspace of the local airport was not closed, as it was during the previous eruption.

There were no reports of casualties or damage from the eruption of the Sicilian volcano.

The 3,330-meter-high volcano can erupt several times a year, spewing lava and ash high above the Mediterranean island. The last major eruption occurred in 1992.
