Kilauea Volcano Erupts in Hawaii After Nearly 50 Years

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted early Monday in a remote part of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, posing no immediate threat to human life or critical infrastructure. The eruption, characterized by low eruptive volume, primarily emitted gas and rock fragments. The U.S. Geological Survey noted minor or no ash emissions and observed lava from fissures. The last eruption in this area occurred nearly 50 years ago. The event was preceded by increased seismic activity, including around 250 earthquakes.
