Italy’s Mount Stromboli erupts, spewing lava and ash


Stromboli (Italy) (AFP) – Ashy smoke billows and lava flows from Mount Stromboli in Italy after a 4.6 magnitude tremor on Sunday, caused by the ‘sciara del fuoco’ section of the volcano that broke off and slammed into the sea, triggering a tsunami wave off the volcanic island. The wave, which was about one and a half metres high, did not reach the coast. According to the Civil Protection Services no damage was reported.
