Volcano Erupts on Red Sea Island

The volcano erupted spewing hundreds of feet into the air according to witnesses. A search for survivors is under way after the volcano erupted on a Yemeni island in the Red Sea, killing at least four people. The western part of the tiny al-tair island, used as a military base, collapsed following the eruption, the defense ministry said. Four bodies were recovered from the sea and two soldiers are missing. Yemeni coastguards requested the help of nearby Nato ships in the search and rescue operation.
