Hawaii's Kilauea volcano eruptions shoot fountains of lava 1,000 feet in the air, triggering ash warnings - CBS News

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has erupted, sending fountains of lava shooting 1,000 feet into the air and prompting authorities to issue ash warnings for the surrounding area. The eruption marks another active phase for one of the world's most closely monitored volcanoes, located on Hawaii's Big Island. Officials issued ash warnings as volcanic debris and gases pose potential health risks to residents and could disrupt air travel in the region. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes globally and has experienced numerous eruption cycles over the past decades. The current eruption requires ongoing monitoring by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to assess whether lava flows might threaten populated areas or infrastructure.
