Another eruption of the volcano Etna took place in Sicily late on Thursday evening.

According to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the eruption occurred in the southeastern crater of the volcano at a height of about 2900 meters, throwing ash and clouds of smoke into the sky to a height of eight kilometres.

Three streams of pyroclastic material erupted from the crater. The first two travelled a few hundred metres towards the Valle del Bove basin and the third headed south, also travelling a few hundred metres.

The outburst of activity on Etna reportedly stopped around 1am.
