Nobody was injured.<br /> </p><p><br /> The volcano also spewed out ash, which forced Catania's Fontanarossa and another local airport to shut down, cancelling or diverting a few domestic flights.<br /> </p><p><br /> The disruption was not too severe however, the airports were able to re-open early on Thursday morning.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mount Etna is Europe's most active volcano.
