The volcano near Grindavik on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula erupted at 22:17 local time, as confirmed by the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), sending out lava and ash following a series of recent earthquakes. Last month, 4,000 residents were evacuated from the town, and a nearby hot spring was shut down. Civil Defense issued a warning advising people to steer clear of the area.
Russian Presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev announced that President Vladimir Putin signed the draft strategy for the development of the Russian Navy through 2050.
