Ten people have been injured by a volcanic eruption on Mount Etna in Italy after flowing magma hit a layer of snow triggering an explosion that sent rocks and stones flying into the air.
Amongst those hurt on Thursday near the summit of Etna, Europe’s biggest active volcano, were members of a television crew filming for the BBC.
Nino Borzi, the mayor of Nicolosi, the closest residential area on the island of Sicily, said there were around 35 people in the area close to the explosion.
“There were 10 injuries,” he said. “But none serious.”
