Volcano erupts on Stromboli, residents urged to stay at home

Residents of Italy's Stromboli island have been urged to stay at home following a volcanic eruption.

The eruption began on Wednesday afternoon and has continued into Thursday morning. The volcano has been spewing ash and lava into the air, and there have been several small explosions.

The Italian Civil Protection Agency has issued a red alert for the island, and residents have been told to stay indoors and close all windows and doors.

There have been no reports of any injuries so far, but the eruption is still ongoing and it is not clear when it will end.

Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and it has erupted many times in the past.
