At least five people were killed, up to 20 wounded and numerous listed missing after a volcano that is a tourist attraction abruptly exploded off the coast of New Zealand’s North Island on Monday.

Police announced more victims were feared on White Island, where the volcano erupted at about 2:11 p.m. (0111 GMT), blowing a plume of ash thousands of feet into the air.

The prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, who was en route to the nearby coastal town of Whakatāne on Monday evening, said the situation was “significant and evolving”.
