		</div><p>Mount Etna has roared back to spectacular action after a few months of relative quiet, sending up a 7.5-mile high volcanic ash cloud over eastern Sicily.</p>
<p>The lava flow from Etna, one of Europe’s most active volcanoes, was centred around the crater on the mountain’s south-east slope, said officials in Italy.</p>
<p>There were no immediate reports of injuries or property damage on the inhabited towns on the slopes of the volcano, which is popular with hikers, skiers and other tourists.</p>
<p>By Monday afternoon, the lava flow from the crater had stopped, officials said. But earlier in the day, while the volcanic cloud was pouring out of Etna, they issued a warning for aircraft in the area.</p>
<p>The towering cloud, visible for miles, was the latest impressive show of Etna’s power this month.</p>
<p>Earlier in February, a particularly powerful eruption sent bolts of lightning dramatically across the sky over eastern Sicily.</p>

<p>Etna has had scores of known eruptions in its history. In 1669, in what has been considered the volcano’s worst-known eruption, lava buried a swathe of Catania, the largest city in the east on the island of Sicily, and devastated dozens of villages.</p>
<p>More recently, in 1983, dynamite was used to divert lava threatening towns.</p>
<p>In 1992, the army built an earthen wall to contain the lava, flowing from Etna for months, so it would not reach one of the villages on the slopes.</p>
