There was trouble in the European region over the eruption of high power-packed volcano in the Italian part of the continent.
Italy’s Mount Etna, Europe’s highest and most active volcano, erupted on Monday, sending a huge column of ash into the sky and causing the closure of Catania airport on Sicily’s eastern coast.
A chain of around 130 earth tremors have rocked the volcano since around 0800 GMT on Monday, Italy’s National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology said, with the strongest posting a magnitude of 4.0.
There were no reports of any injuries.
The 3,330-meter high volcano can burst into spectacular action several times a year, spewing lava and ash high over the Mediterranean island.
However, care must be taken and preventive measure should also be put in place to make prevent any casualties in case this kind or a worse occurrence happens in the future.
