Etna, the most active volcano in Europe, located on the Italian island of Sicily, has become active again.

The Etna Observatory of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) stated that the eruption occurred southeast of the volcano. The eruption occurred during a visit by tourists. The moments when tourists fled the area in fear and panic were reflected on the cameras. It was noted that the lava and ash flow that the mountain spewed during the eruption did not reach the Lion Valley, a point near the summit, where tourist trips end.

Flights to the region were diverted to different airports due to the eruption. No loss of life or property was reported in the eruption.

The last significant eruption at Etna Volcano occurred last February.
