Deadly Volcano Hits Papua New Guinea

A volcano erupted Tuesday on a small island off the north coast of Papua New Guinea, killing at least two people.

Emergency workers began evacuating residents of Manam Island after the volcano erupted for a second time Wednesday morning, sending ash and lava over the island.

Flying debris killed two people, and there was an unconfirmed report of a third person being killed, said Leith Anderson, director-general of National Disaster and Emergency Services.
