Lava drama as Etna erupts...

- By Cyril Dixon

MOLTEN lava glows red hot as a spectacula­r light show erupts on Sicily’s Mount Etna yesterday.

Europe’s tallest active volcano erupted high above the waterfront in Riposto.

Scientists say fiery jets shot 3,000ft into the air.

Gusts of wind carried a massive three-mile ash cloud to the south, showering the city of Catania.

However, officials said residents, busy celebratin­g Italy’s Euro 2020 semi-final victory, were unharmed.

Etna has erupted 46 times this year.
