Before that, the authorities raised the alert for the risk of eruption of the Stromboli volcano to the red level.
Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It is known for its regular, but usually minor, eruptions.
A young woman explains: “There were explosions, rocks fell from the mountain into the water. There were also big waves and dust..”
Stromboli and Etna are just 180 km apart.
The Milanese daily Corriere della Sera reports that “The ashes of Etna rose up to 4 kilometers high and fell on the villages below.”
Air traffic is not expected to resume for several hours in Catania.
