“There’s still lava pouring off the island, the northern side seems to be completely devastated.”
“The southern side seems to be OK, but the northern side is just nothing but red molten lava.”
A volcanic eruption off the Red Sea coast of Yemen spewed lava hundreds of yards into the air Sunday evening and at least 9 people were missing at sea, Canadian naval officials and the Yemeni state news agency said. The eruption occurred on Jazirt Mount al-Tair, an island about 80 miles from Yemen.
