Lava flows from Italy's Mount Etna during night-time eruption

Lava flows from Mount Etna in southern Italy during a night-time eruption.

Explosions and ash emissions from the volcano have increased, primarily from the summit craters.

Meanwhile, a lava flow emerging from a fracture at the base of the Bocca Nuova crater is cutting the side of the volcano in two and has expanded further.
