Overview
- The first documented activity in roughly 12,000 years sent ash to heights reported between about 8.5 and 14 kilometers, according to ECHO and VAAC Toulouse.
- VAAC Toulouse tracked ash clouds across Yemen and Oman to India and northern Pakistan and reported that the eruption had ended.
- Copernicus Sentinel‑5P mapped a large sulfur dioxide plume stretching roughly 3,700 kilometers from Ethiopia toward the Arabian Sea.
- Local authorities reported no fatalities or structural damage, but villages were coated in ash that left livestock unable to graze, with about 9,000 residents within 30 kilometers potentially affected.
- Air India canceled multiple international and domestic flights and India’s aviation regulator advised route adjustments as ash around 10 kilometers altitude passed over parts of northern India.
