The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island erupted again early Wednesday morning.
The volcanic eruption started at the Halemaumau Crater at about 4:45 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Footage of the incident showed lava flowing out of the summit onto the surface of the crater, HawaiiNewsNow reported.

“The opening phases of eruptions are dynamic,” the USGS said in an advisory. “The activity is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu and the hazards will be reassessed as the eruption progresses.”
Kilauea is one of the world’s most intermittently active volcanoes.
The volcano was active earlier this year, with its last eruption beginning on Jan. 5 and lasting until March 7.
HVO, which is closely monitoring the threat, updated the volcano alert level from “watch/orange” to “red/warning.” However, the Hawaii Management Agency stated there was “no indication that populated areas are threatened.”

Earthquake activity, ground deformation at the summit, and the movement of magma underground preceded the volcanic outburst Tuesday evening, scientists said.
USGS hosted a livestream, showing the volcanic eruption in action.
