Italy's Mount Etna volcano is spewing smoke and ash in a new eruption.

Heavy clouds around the volcano's summit have impaired visibility, hiding ash discharges into the atmosphere.

Europe’s most active volcano has started erupting, spewing ash on Catania, eastern Sicily’s largest city, and forcing a suspension of flights at that city’s airport.

In early 2021, an eruption of the volcano lasted several weeks.
