An eruption occurred in the summit crater of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park around 03.15 local time, according to information from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Hawaii Volcano Observatory.
The Observatory warned that "the gases released by the eruption will cause volcanic smoke" and urged those living near the park to protect themselves from volcanic particles emitted into the air by the eruption.
Following the eruption, the alert level for the volcano was raised from "watch" to "warning" and the aviation color code was raised to "red". Authorities shared the information that the volcanic activities in question were limited within the park.
Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has been erupting since 1983. An eruption occurred in the summit crater of Kilauea Volcano on June 7, and its activity stopped on June 21.
