Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The most recent eruption of Mount Etna occurred in May 2023, resulting in towns near the volcano being blanketed with a layer of ash and the closure of Catania airport.<\/p>\n

The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) has reported that the Mount Etna volcano in Sicily has once again started spewing lava and ash.<\/p>\n

The eruption occurred in the southeastern crater of the volcano, with the eruptive column reaching an estimated height of about 4,500 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the ongoing eruption phase of Mount Etna is not disrupting operations at the airport in the Sicilian city of Catania.<\/p>\n

As Europe’s tallest active volcano, Mount Etna was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2013. It is worth noting that the previous volcanic eruption in Sicily in March 2017 left ten people injured.<\/p>\n
