About 400,000 people flee the area of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, as the threat of another volcanic eruption at Mount Nyiragongo looms, a government spokesperson says

Maj. Njike Kaiko Guillaume, spokesperson for the military governor of North Kivu, said that the Volcanic Observatory of Goma had identified magma under the city that also extends under Lake Kivu. While that magma has partially drained, radar images indicate that the crater inside the summit of the volcano continues to expand, he reported.
