A volcanic eruption has struck, sending ash and smoke into the sky and triggering widespread panic and concern among residents and authorities. The eruption, which occurred on Tuesday, has raised alarms for the safety of those living in the vicinity. The eruption has resulted in the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes, as authorities fear the potential for more eruptions and lava flows. Ashfall from the volcano has blanketed nearby communities, creating threatening conditions for breathing and visibility.
