‘It Felt Like A Sudden Bomb’: Eyewitnesses Stranded As Ethiopia’s Silent Volcano Awakens After 12,000 Years

A volcano that had remained silent for nearly 12,000 years suddenly roared back to life in Ethiopia’s north-eastern Afar region on Sunday, unleashing massive plumes of ash and smoke that shot nearly 9 miles (14 km) into the sky. The unexpected eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano blanketed the nearby village of Afdera—an emerging tourist hotspot—in thick layers of ash. Residents described the moment as both shocking and surreal.Ahmed Abdela, who lives in the region, recalled hearing a powerful blast just before the plume rose. “It felt like a sudden bomb had been thrown with smoke and ash,” he said, describing what he believed was a shock wave following the eruption. Tourists Stranded as Ash Covers Villages By Monday, Afdera village was still coated in grey ash, leaving tourists and local guides stuck as they attempted to travel to the popular Danakil desert. The sudden halt stranded many visitors who had been en route to one of Ethiopia’s most dramatic landscapes. Local administrator Mohammed Seid confirmed that there were no casualties, but the eruption has triggered deep concerns about the economic fallout for the region’s pastoral communities. Many depend on livestock grazing, which now faces an immediate threat. 🔴 Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano ERUPTS after 10,000 years!A massive 15 km ash plume is drifting across the region toward Yemen & Oman… and now headed towards North India .Multiple flights impacted, Govt issues advisory to airlines for potential flight hazards.… pic.twitter.com/NmRTD9Uono — TridentX ᴵⁿᵗᵉˡ (@TridentxIN) November 25, 2025 “While no human lives and livestock have been lost so far, many villages have been covered in ash, and as a result, their animals have little to eat,” Seid told The Associated Press. With no historical records of Hayli Gubbi ever erupting, the event has left residents anxious about what might come next and how long the disruption could last. Ash Clouds Drift Across Borders The Hayli Gubbi volcano rises roughly 500 metres inside the seismically active Rift Valley, where massive tectonic forces shape the land. Its sudden awakening produced ash clouds large enough to travel far beyond Ethiopia. According to the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in France, satellite imagery showed the ash drifting across Yemen, Oman, India, and northern Pakistan. The scale of the drift has drawn widespread attention, highlighting just how forceful the eruption was. Images Surface on Social Media Videos circulating on social platforms, though unverified, show towering columns of white smoke billowing into the sky, capturing the drama of a moment few in the region have ever witnessed.

Can Lifestyle Changes Help Control Chronic Hepatitis Progression? Know Here

(By Dr. Akash Chaudhary) For many living with chronic hepatitis, whether due to hepatitis B or C, autoimmune causes, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the diagnosis can feel like a lifelong sentence. But doctors say medical treatment is only half the story. What you do outside the clinic, how you eat, move, sleep, and care for your overall well-being, can make a real difference in how your liver fares over time. ALSO READ: When To See An Orthopaedic Specialist: Early Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore Lifestyle’s Role In Liver Health People often think of hepatitis as something to be controlled with pills or injections. But the liver is incredibly sensitive to lifestyle. Everyday habits, your meals, your sleep cycle, how stressed you are, even whether you smoke or drink, can either help protect the liver or make the damage worse. Impact On Fatty Liver The liver’s job is demanding. When it’s already inflamed or under attack, minimizing additional stress becomes critical. Doctors often emphasize the importance of eating in a way that supports liver health. This includes staying away from processed snacks, fried foods, excess sugar, and red meat, items that can quietly strain the liver over time. Instead, they encourage a shift toward simpler, nourishing options like whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and lighter proteins. For people with fatty liver, even a small drop in weight, about 5 to 10% of their body weight, can go a long way in reducing fat deposits in the liver and showing positive changes in test results. Healthy Lifestyle Habits To Adopt Alcohol is non-negotiable in most chronic liver conditions. Even occasional alcohol can speed up liver damage. Doctors also urge patients to stop smoking and avoid recreational drugs, as these raise oxidative stress and put extra strain on the liver. Exercise, too, plays a role in healing. Around 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, can improve insulin sensitivity and lower liver fat. Staying active supports weight control, lifts mood, and keeps metabolism steady, all of which are good for the liver. Simple habits like using the stairs or taking short walks after meals can also help and are often easier to stick with long term. Keeping diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol under control is just as critical. These issues often go hand-in-hand with liver disease and, if unmanaged, can push it faster toward cirrhosis. Sleep and emotional health are also gaining attention. Ongoing stress and disrupted sleep can interfere with immune function and fuel inflammation, making liver recovery more difficult.

‘Bombed Civilian Homes’: Pakistan’s Airstrikes Kill 10 Civilians In Afghanistan After Peshawar Suicide Attack

Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan soil overnight left at least 10 civilians dead, including nine children, according to the Taliban government, which condemned the attack early Tuesday. The strikes mark a sharp escalation in tensions between the neighboring countries as security concerns mount along the border. Taliban Says Children Among the Dead In a statement posted on X, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the strikes targeted the home of a local resident in Afghanistan’s Khost province. He reported that nine children, five boys and four girls, along with one woman, were killed in the bombing. “The Pakistani invading forces bombed the house of a local civilian resident… As a result, nine children and one woman were martyred,” Mujahid wrote. Airstrikes also hit border areas in Kunar and Paktika provinces, wounding four additional civilians, he added, according to AFP. Diplomatic Contacts Resume Amid Rising Tension The deadly strikes coincided with rare high-level contact between Pakistani and Afghan officials, taking place as Pakistan faces a surge in terror attacks it says are planned from Afghan territory, an allegation the Taliban firmly deny. Dawn reported that a Pakistani diplomat stationed in Afghanistan met with a senior Taliban provincial leader just hours after a suicide blast at the Federal Constabulary headquarters in Peshawar’s Saddar area killed three personnel. Security forces quickly neutralized the attackers. The meeting brought together Pakistan’s Consul General in Jalalabad, Shafqatullah Khan, and Nangarhar Governor Mullah Muhammad Naeem Akhund, their first such engagement in months. Long-Standing Security Disputes Intensify Islamabad has repeatedly argued that militant groups use Afghan territory to orchestrate cross-border attacks. Kabul, however, has pushed back on those claims, insisting it does not allow any group to threaten regional security. Peshawar Attack Highlights Volatile Security Situation The latest strikes also coincide with renewed bloodshed inside Pakistan. A deadly assault on the Federal Constabulary headquarters in Peshawar left three security personnel dead and several others wounded after a suicide bomber and gunmen stormed the compound. The attackers were killed before they could reach the parade area, preventing what authorities say could have been an even greater tragedy. That incident followed multiple attacks across the country in recent weeks, including another suicide blast in Islamabad. For Pakistan, the growing wave of violence has only sharpened its accusations against the Afghan Taliban, which Islamabad claims is not doing enough to rein in militants.

WATCH: CSK Unveils Sanju Samson’s Jersey Number For IPL 2026

Rajasthan Royals (RR) traded their captain, Sanju Samson, to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction. They received Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran in return, the former of which started his journey with this franchise. However, just like Curran, Samson will debut with a new team in the next edition of the Indian Premier League. While the tournament is still far out, CSK has revealed what number the Indian wicket keeper-batsman will boast at the back of his jersey with a short clip on X. Sanju Samson To Continue With No. 11 in IPL Winner of the trend! 💛🦁#WhistlePodu pic.twitter.com/7uWO82Miks — Chennai Super Kings (@ChennaiIPL) November 25, 2025 Sanju Samson will continue with No. 11 on his back in the IPL, the same jersey number as his RR shirt with the CSK next year.  This is different from his number with India, as he is seen sporting No. 9 with the national side in T20Is, as well as in One Day Internationals (ODIs) whenever he does. While any doubts regarding Samson's shirt number have been cleared, it remains to be seen how CSK will use him, since MS Dhoni, the franchise's undisputed wicket keeper batsman will also be playing in IPL 2026. Interestingly, R Ashwin, former Indian spinner and CSK veteran, recently suggested in an interview that the 5-time champions might hand the former RR skipper their gloves to keep wickets, and only have Dhoni play as a pure batsman via the Impact Player rule. This could be an effective way to utilize the two talents, but how exactly they go about it remains to be seen. It should also be noted that Sanju Samson will not lead CSK in IPL 2026, since the franchise has seemingly confirmed Ruturaj Gaikwad's continuation in the role with a post shortly after the player retentions were announced.

Trump sent a former Miss Colorado pageant to prosecute a former FBI chief. It didn’t go well…

Federal law is clear: the attorney general may appoint only one interim US attorney before the role must be filled through Senate confirmation. The administration ignored that process entirely. By replacing one interim appointee with another, it bypassed the Senate, concentrated power in the hands of a loyalist, and turned a temporary exception into a revolving door.
