No injuries or deaths have been reported. Residents in the village of Pedara near the crater said it spewed not only ash, but also big chunks of volcanic stones throughout the area. "It was a rain of stones," resident Letizia Olivieri told the Associated Press. "Something I never saw in my entire life." The Sicilian village was in emergency mode, the mayor said, ashes on the street Wednesday. residents and municipal teams worked to clean up the ashes on Wednesday.
