Europe's most active volcano erupts and flights cancelled as ash spewed onto airport

Planes were grounded and an airport shut last night after Mount Etna erupted.

Europe's most active volcano was spewing a huge dark cloud into the sky on Sunday, raining ash down on Catania, eastern Sicily's largest city, and forcing a suspension of flights at the city's airport.
