The ash originated on Sunday from a rare eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano in the northeastern part of Ethiopia, near the Red Sea coastline, which poses risks such as reduced visibility and potential exposure to toxic gases like sulphur dioxide.

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia erupted after nearly 12,000 years, sending ash plumes across the Red Sea to India, affecting visibility and air quality in northwest regions before drifting toward China and the Pacific.

An immense volcanic ash cloud from Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi eruption is heading towards India, potentially causing hazy skies and flight disruptions. T
