Mount Etna, the infamous Sicilian volcano, erupted recently, sending a five-kilometer plume of smoke skyward and causing lava flows. The Italian Civil Protection Agency issued a red alert due to the eruption's intensity, particularly around the crater area at 2,800 meters. Reports confirm that the volcanic activity, while alarming, has not yet disrupted flight operations at Catania Airport. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology noted structural collapse in parts of the southeastern crater, but local officials remain optimistic, stating that the event is part of the volcano's routine behavior.
Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, erupted with significant explosions, sending smoke 5 km into the sky, while local authorities assure that the situation remains controlled.
Despite the eruption's spectacular nature, Catania Airport operations are unaffected as the wind direction allows air traffic to continue safely in the region.
