An explosive eruption at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has sent ash 30,000ft (9,100m) into the sky, BBC reported.
The US Geological Survey says the eruption took place at 04:15 local time (14:15 GMT).
Staff at the volcano observatory and the national park had previously been evacuated.
Since a new zone of Mount Kilauea began erupting almost two weeks ago, lava has wrecked dozens of homes and forced hundreds of people to be evacuated.
