The latest eruption on 2 June which was 14th during recent months in Italy's Mount Etna, saw sudden variation in volcanic parameters at an altitude of 2,800 metres as authorities raised alert level in nearby Catania Airport though it remained operational.
The blast in the morning triggered panic but as the lava flow stayed within the volcano's natural containment zones, the seismic activity decreased by the afternoon suggesting a potential end to the eruptive phase.
