Italy’s Mount Etna rains ash, disrupts flights
Mount Etna in Sicily has erupted, spewing ash on the city of Catania and forcing a suspension of local flight operations.
The airport, located south of Mount Etna, said the ashfall had made the runway too risky to use.
Flights would resume when “safety conditions are restored,” it wrote on Facebook.
People in Catania and the nearby town of Adrano shared photos of cars and roads covered in ash.
