Europe's highest active volcano, Mount Etna in Italy, has erupted for the fourth time in six days.
In the early hours of this Sunday (30), he woke up expelling lava and releasing thick clouds of ash.
According to a statement from National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanologya, the explosions originated in the southeast crater of Etna.
The ash reached a height of about 6,5 km (4 miles) above sea level.
There was no impact on operations at the international airport of Catania, nearby.
Etna is the largest of Italy's three active volcanoes, which also include Stromboli, on the Sicilian island of the same name, and Vesuvius, near Naples, which last erupted in 1944.
Etna is a popular tourist destination that attracts hikers eager to see its extraordinary lava flows that glow orange at night.
