Mount Etna Eruption Disrupts Flights at Sicily's Catania Airport
Mount Etna, Europe's tallest and one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted recently, releasing ash and smoke that disrupted air traffic at Sicily's Catania airport. Flight operations were temporarily suspended due to volcanic ash drifting into the airspace but resumed gradually after the alert level was downgraded from red to orange. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology continues to monitor the eruption, which involves lava flows and ash emissions from vents at high altitudes.
