The Latest on eruptions at Alaska’s Bogoslof Volcano (all times local) 9 a.m.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory says a volcano in the Aleutian Islands has erupted again.
The observatory says Bogoslof (BOH-gohs-lawf) Volcano erupted for six minutes starting at 8:17 a.m. Tuesday.
Satellite images of an ash cloud were not immediately available and the observatory could not estimate its height.
The eruption followed a series of explosive events at the volcano Monday night and the Aviation Color Code remains at “warning” level.
Ash from Aleutian volcanoes is a threat airliners operating between North America and Asia when a cloud rises above 20,000 feet (6,096 meters).
Lower-level winds were expected to push a cloud northwest into the Bering Sea. Higher level winds could push ash southeast into the Gulf of Alaska.
The volcano is 850 miles (1,368 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
