Mt Tavurvur erupts again
Our reporter in Kokopo Grace Tiden reported that residents in Rabaul heard rumbling noises followed by the volcano spewing ash in to the air.
By 7 am, the volcano was still spewing out volumes of ash fall followed by loud rumbling noises.
Vehicles coming to Kokopo from Rabaul were covered in volcanic ash. Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the status of the volcano.
The volcano erupted in 1994 and destroyed the town of Rabaul followed by another major eruption in 2006.
Major airlines including Air Niugini, Mangi Long Ples (TravelAir) and Airline PNG have announced that they will continue to fly into East New Britain until further notice. The airlines said, they are carefully monitoring the situation.
