Etna erupting, partially closed airspace in Sicily

The Etna volcano in Italy has erupted again, with rivers of molten lava flowing down the mountain on the island of Sicily. Despite the eruption, there have been no major damages or casualties reported. The main concern is the increasing ash cloud released by the volcano, which has grown to 1.5 kilometers in height and has been carried further south by the wind. Due to this activity, parts of the airspace over Sicily have been partially closed. Etna, standing at 3,300 meters, is the tallest active volcano in Europe and is closely monitored due to its ongoing volcanic activity.
