WASHINGTON (dpa): Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano has erupted anew, spewing inclined lava fountains from its north vent along a length of some 300 metres, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Saturday.

The south vent was also erupting with lower-level activity, the USGS said in a post on X. Inclined lava fountains have been observed before on the volcano, caused by temporary obstructions within the vents.
