A volcano has erupted on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Five people have been killed, and about 50 people have been injured.

Rescue teams are now looking for survivors, but nobody knows how many people are missing because there is no clear information about the number of people on the island. However, about 100 people have been found in the early hours.

All the buildings, trees, and streets are covered with ash, which makes them look dull, grey, and lifeless.

The horrific eruption caused several fires in the jungle, but the firefighters stopped them quickly.

The scientists had known about the coming eruption before it started, but the government didn’t want to evacuate people from the island for economic reasons.

We’ll never find out how many tourists have been buried under the layers of volcanic lava and ash.
