Since night, the tremor of the volcano, which indicates the rise of magma in the internal channels of Etna, has increased significantly, reaching high values at 10:00, writes La Sicilia.
The sources of the tremor gradually shifted to the south-eastern crater to a depth of approximately 2,900 meters above sea level.

"The warning for aviation issued by INGV remains at the "orange" level," DIARIO AS assures.
At the moment, the current phase of the Etna eruption does not affect the operation of the Vincenzo Bellini International Airport in Catania.
Let us remind you
In November 2023, Etna already demonstrated increased activity, including lava flows and increased tremor, indicating the activation of the volcano.
