Kīlauea Volcano Erupts in Remote Area, No Disruptions Reported

Kīlauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted early Monday in a remote area, causing no immediate threat to communities. The eruption, which began through four fissures, has been downgraded from a warning to a watch level. The eruption site is within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has been closed since 2008 due to safety concerns. Elevated seismic activity and gas emissions were noted, but officials do not expect significant lava production. Some park areas remain closed as a precaution.
