The Hayli Gubbi volcano erupted, sending massive ash clouds up to 14 kilometers high detected by NASA and affecting countries from Yemen and Oman to China, with the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center confirming the spread. Pakistan’s Meteorological Department issued warnings as ash entered its airspace, and major flight cancellations and reroutes occurred in India with airlines such as Air India, Akasa Air, and IndiGo involved. Authorities are monitoring the volcano and impacts closely as thick ash continues drifting across parts of Asia and the Middle East.
