Watch: Italy's Mount Etna erupts violently, sending massive ash plumes into sky as people run for safety

Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, violently erupted on Monday, spewing toxic ash plumes into the sky. Strombolian explosions marked the onset, transitioning into lava fountains. Ashfall was reported in areas like Piano Vetore. The eruption, triggered by a collapse from the southeast crater's northern side, remained contained within the Valley of the Leo.
