People on a boat react as smoke billows from the volcanic eruption of Whakaari, also known as White Island, New Zealand, yesterday, in this picture grab obtained from a social media video. Five people were confirmed dead in the eruption, with more casualties likely, local police said. The five victims were among those rescued earlier, the police said, adding that more than 10 people were missing on the tourist island. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said around 100 people, including foreigners, were on or around the island at the time of the eruption and some of them are “unaccounted for.”SD-Agencies |
