On Monday, Mount Etna erupted, spewing ash and smoke kilometers into the sky. However, Italian officials confirmed that the eruption did not pose a threat to local residents. The Catania airport raised its alert level, but operations continued smoothly. The increase in volcanic activity was attributed to a collapse of the southeast crater, marking the 14th eruptive phase recently. The peak area's closure to tourists minimized risks, while nearby habitats felt tremors, and the event garnered significant attention on social media.
The event was captured in video and photos that went viral on social media, demonstrating the significant public interest in the volcanic activity of Mount Etna.
Tremors from the eruption were widely felt in the towns and villages on Mount Etna's flanks, indicating the extensive impact of the seismic event on local communities.
