A long-dormant volcano erupted in northern Ethiopia over the weekend, sending ash plumes across the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman.<\/p>\n

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in the Afar region of Ethiopia erupted on Sunday morning, leaving the neighboring village of Afdera covered in dust.<\/p>\n

A local administrator, Mohammed Seid, said there were no casualties, but the eruption could have economic implications for the local community of livestock herders.<\/p>\n

Seid told The Associated Press that there was no previous record of an eruption by the Hayli Gubbi volcano, and that he fears for the livelihoods of residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in France also reported the eruption, which it observed on satellite imagery.<\/p>\n

The Afar region is prone to earthquakes and a resident, Ahmed Abdela, said he heard a loud sound and what he described as a shock wave.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like a sudden bomb had been thrown with smoke and ash,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The village near the Danakil desert, which is a tourist attraction, was still covered in ash on Monday and tourists and guides heading to the desert were stranded in the village, according to Abdela.<\/p>\n

The local authorities shared photos and videos of a towering ash plume rising from the volcano.<\/p>\n
