Ethiopian Volcano Erupts After 12,000 Years – Shockwave Felt Across Continents

A volcano that’s been silent for over 12,000 years just erupted in Ethiopia — and it’s making global headlines. The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in the Afar region near the Eritrean border, sent ash clouds soaring 9 miles into the sky and drifting across the Red Sea toward Yemen, Oman, India, and even Pakistan.

Locals describe a terrifying boom and a wave of smoke that felt like a bomb blast. While no lives were lost, villages are buried in ash and livestock herders now face devastation, as animals are left with nothing to eat.

Scientists are stunned — this volcano had no known activity since the end of the last Ice Age. Now, it’s roaring back to life.

:volcano: What caused it? Could more eruptions follow?
