Three Maltese excursionists who were lost on Mount Etna have been rescued by Italian rescue services, Rainews has reported.

The three were on an expedition with other Maltese on the north side of the Sicilan volcano when they got lost.

One of them, a 48-year-old sustained injuries following a fall. He is being treated in hospital.
