The Civil Protection agency has issued a red alert for the nearby island of Stromboli as the volcano there has started erupting. The situation is deemed dangerous and could worsen in the coming days. Earlier this week, the volcano sent ash clouds up to two kilometers into the sky and spilled lava into the sea.
The eruption on Stromboli comes as another concerning event in the area following the volcanic activity on Mount Etna in Sicily. The agency is closely monitoring the situation and is advising residents and tourists to stay away from the area for their safety.
Stromboli is known for its regular eruptions, however, the recent activity has raised alarm amongst experts. The eruption has caused disruption to air travel in the region, with flights being redirected to avoid the ash clouds.
Local authorities are working to ensure the safety of residents and visitors on the island, with emergency plans in place in case the situation escalates further. The Civil Protection agency is urging everyone to stay informed and follow their advice to prevent any potential risks.
The situation on Stromboli is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of volcanoes and the importance of being prepared for emergencies. As the volcano continues to erupt, officials are keeping a close eye on developments and taking necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of those in the area.
