Firefighters using helicopters and motorboats are continuing to douse fires ignited by a volcanic eruption on the Sicilian island of Stromboli.

Mayor Marco Giorgianni said about 100 people had been evacuated from the island after a violent eruption sent glowing lapilli and lava spewing into the air, setting off a series of blazes.

A hiker from Sicily was killed.

The mayor said “a part of the island covered with a thick blanket of pumice looks like a post-war scene”.
