Volcano in Ethiopia erupts for first time in nearly 12,000 years: "It felt like a sudden bomb"
"While no human lives and livestock have been lost so far, many villages have been covered in ash and as a result their animals have little to eat," an official said.
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.
The volcano, situated in Ethiopia's Erta Ale Range, last erupted around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The explosive eruption began around 8.30 am UTC on Sunday, said the Toulouse VAAC advisory.
Satellite data show that the eruption sent a massive ash column soaring between 10 km and 15 km into the atmosphere. According to reports, a plume traveling at 100-120 km/h could reach parts of northwest India by late evening,
