(ANSA) - Catania, May 15 - Mount Etna erupted in its latest
show of pyrotechnics in eastern Sicily Thursday night.
A new crater on the southeastern slope of Europe's tallest
active volcano spewed out "sporadic bursts" of lava and ash
plumes, volcanologists said.
But Catania's international airport, 60 km to the south,
was unaffected.
Bigger blowups in the past have shut down the airport
completely and covered Catania in ash.
