Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] An eruption of Mount Etna has begun on the Italian island of Sicily. Volcanic tremors had previously occurred in this area, the first of which was recorded on the evening of June 1. Local residents posted videos on social media taken in the vicinity of the volcano. The footage shows a powerful ash cloud rising above the crater. The height of the ash emission reached almost three kilometers. The intensity of the emission of hot rocks is increasing, the ANSA news agency reported, citing the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. "According to preliminary observations, the hot material apparently did not pass the edge of Valle del Leone. At the same time, explosive activity from the Southeast Crater was replaced by a lava fountain," the article says. The eruption is also reported to be visible in all parts of the island. The region was initially placed on red alert, later downgraded to orange. Etna is the highest and most active volcano in Europe and is considered one of the most dangerous on the planet. In April 2024, the volcano emitted smoke rings, photos and videos of which were distributed in the press and social networks. Later, in July, Etna emitted lava fountains, a column of ash and smoke.
