Watch: Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano sends jets of lava into the air

Kilauea volcano, on Hawaii’s Big Island, started spewing fresh lava at around 02:00 local time (12:00 GMT), according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Officials say there is no immediate danger to residents as volcanic activity is currently limited to a confined area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

They have warned the most immediate threat is volcanic smog which could reach inhabited areas downwind.
