Mount Etna has begun spewing columns of ash hundreds of metres into the sky.
The volcano has been active again for weeks - and experts warn there could be a big eruption any time soon.
Lying above the Sicilian town of Catania, Etna often erupts but rarely causes damage or the need for evacuation - but can close local airspace.
