BREAKING: Papua New Guinea volcano Mount Kadovar spews ‘dome of lava’ amid mass evacuation

The country’s Red Cross Secretary General, Uvenama Rova, stated that locals “rushed immediately to escape” and are in “immediate need of food” as the volcano continues to plague the region.

The dome of lava could reportedly be seen in the sea at the base of steam clouds that are rising to 600meters above sea level.

Chris Firth, a vulcanologist at Macquarie University, detailed that this is the first confirmed eruption report to come from Kadovar.
