(France 24) – A volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli erupted dramatically on Wednesday, sparking fears among inhabitants and tourists. The volcano is known to be active but on Wednesday there was a particularly powerful eruption. “It was like being in hell because of the rain of fire coming from the sky,” Italian news agencies quoted local priest Giovanni Longo as saying. He said it was not known if there were any hikers

Firefighters in Messina, Sicily said there were no immediate reports of casualties. Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said there were two huge explosions on the central-southern side of the volcano’s crater at around 1446 GMT Wednesday. READ MORE
