The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia has erupted for the first time in around 10,000 years. The eruption sent a massive ash and sulfur-dioxide cloud up to 15 km high over the Afar region. Satellite images first detected the blast in the remote Danakil Depression. The ash cloud moved across the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman, causing aviation alerts and air-quality warnings. Some flights in the region were diverted, including an IndiGo flight to Abu Dhabi. Experts say the area is too difficult to access, so monitoring will continue through satellite data. Scientists call the eruption rare and highly significant.
