Mount Etna in Sicily erupted again, leading to significant disruptions including the closure of Catania Fontanarossa Airport. The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology raised the aviation alert level to red due to intense volcanic activity. Flights to and from the airport were canceled or rescheduled, with updates indicating the closure would extend until 8 pm. Passengers were advised to check with their airlines before traveling. Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg was stranded in Italy as a result of the eruption, missing her appearance on 'The View'.
