Emission of ash and eruption clouds over Etna, disrupted incoming flights

The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, specifically the Etna Observatory, reported that ash emissions began around 07:45 from the eastern side of the Voragine crater, intensifying by 08:45 to form an eruptive cloud approximately 1.5 kilometers above the volcano’s summit, directed toward the south and southeast. Weather models suggest the ash will disperse toward the south over the next few hours. In recent days, Strombolian activity has continued at the Voragine crater, while effusive activity from a vent at 3,030 meters above sea level, which started on June 26, gradually ceased and ended on July 4. The Sicilian Airports Company (Sac) confirmed that incoming flights have been suspended, though departures from the airport remain allowed.
