Hundreds of people fled after Japan’s Shinmoedake volcano erupted, shattering windows 6km (four miles) away, as the nation struggles with the aftermath of a massive earthquake and tsunami.
Scene of devastation in Otsuchicho town, northern JapanRock and ash was thrown 1,800m (6,000ft) into the air and experts say a lava dome is growing inside its crater.
The eruption was on the southern Kyushu island, 1,500km (950 miles) from the epicentre of the quake.
It last erupted two weeks ago but experts do not know if it is linked to geological destabilisation caused by the earthquake.
It is Shinmoedake's most significant activity in some 300 years.
The magnitude 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated much of the country's northeastern coast.
Japan lies on the 'Ring of Fire' - an arc of seismically active zones where earthquake and volcanic eruptions are common.
Over 10,000 people are thought to have died in Friday's disaster, in Japan's biggest national crisis since the Second World War.

ReplyDelete“others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations… It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts.” – William Cohen, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, April 1997
