New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern says nation shares 'unfathomable grief' of those who lost family and friends. FMTNews

Ardern praises helicopters who flew to rescue survivors immediately after the eruption.

New Zealanders and tourists from Australia, the United States, Britain, China and Malaysia were among the missing and injured, she said, without giving more details. White Island is about 50km from the east coast of North Island and huge plumes were visible from the mainland. Volcanologists said the ash plume shot 3,658m into the air.

GeoNet raised the alert level for the White Island volcano in November because of an increase in volcanic activity.
