A long-dormant volcano erupted in Ethiopia’s north-eastern region for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, sending thick plumes of ash and smoke up to 9 miles (14 km) into the sky and across the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman.

The White House defended US President Donald Trump’s views on the H-1B visas, saying that he has a “nuanced and common-sense opinion on this issue.”

The attacks hit several residential buildings in Kyiv and killed two people, while Russia’s Rostov region reported three deaths.
