Yesterday there was another explosion that generated strong waves in dozens of countries.
A new “major” volcanic eruption has been detected in Tonga, a Darwin, Australia-based monitoring station reported Sunday, two days after another eruption triggered tsunami waves in the Pacific.
The latest eruption was detected at 10:10 p.m. GMT on Sunday, according to an alert from the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Center. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it had detected large waves in the area and “could be from another Tonga volcano explosion.”
On Saturday, the capital of Tonga suffered significant damage from the tsunami caused by a powerful underwater volcanic eruption in the Pacific, which was felt in a multitude of countries and caused two deaths on a beach in northern Peru due to the waves it caused.
Through images taken from space, it was possible to observe the moment when the last eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano sent a mushroom of smoke and ash into the air and a shock wave through the surrounding sea.
The eruption was felt in numerous countries.
In Peru, two women drowned on a beach in the Lambayeque region (north) due to “anomalous waves” produced after the eruption, reported the local National Emergency Operations Center (COEN). (I)
