Etna explodes again! Red air alert over Sicily 🎥

On the night of 1 on 2 June 2025, Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano, again made itself known. A massive eruption threw a pillar of ash and smoke at an altitude of 6.4 km, which forced the authorities to announce a red air alert. Although Catania, the region's main city, remained intact and the airport operated smoothly, the situation recalls the unpredictable force of nature. 3 key facts: The eruption course began around 4:00 a.m. local time. The detonation was the consequence of a partial collapse of the north wall of the southeastern crater, resulting in a pyroclastic flow – a mix of hot gases, ash and rocks moving at advanced speed.
