Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano has erupted, spewing molten rock, volcanic gas, and ash into the air. It is the volcano's first eruption since December 2022. While Kīlauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, officials have stated that the main risk currently is high levels of volcanic gas. There is no immediate danger to residents from lava flows, as the eruption is contained within the summit caldera.
