00:00 The eruption of a volcano on November 20 in Papua New Guinea, the country based in Oceania,
00:10 has triggered tsunami fears in the region.
00:12 The Weather Agency of Japan said it was assessing the risk posed to its coastal belt.
00:17 Mount Ulaanboatar on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea erupted at around 3.30
00:22 pm Monday, spewing volcanic smoke as high as 15,000 metres.
00:27 The agency said, quoting the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin, Australia.
00:32 The risk of a tsunami reaching Japan, along with other possible impacts of the volcanic
00:36 eruption, was being assessed.
00:38 First tsunami waves could reach Izu and Ogasawara Island about three hours after the shaking
00:43 caused by the eruption, Japan Meteorological Agency said.
00:47 The weather agency urged coastal residents to stay cautious in case of a delayed tsunami.
00:52 However, the agency said it could not immediately predict a possible size of a tsunami without
00:57 issuing any advisory or warning as no notable change to sea levels has been detected at
01:02 observation sites in and outside Japan.
01:06 The agency of the Papua New Guinea government that monitors natural calamities like earthquakes
01:10 and volcano eruptions has not issued a tsunami warning yet.
01:13 But Geoscience Australia, a government agency, said there was no tsunami warning for Australian
01:18 waters.
01:19 There was no tsunami alert issued by the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
01:23 Olavon is one of the most active volcanoes in Papua New Guinea, which sits on the Pacific
01:28 Ring of Fire, the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where much of the world's
01:33 earthquake and volcanic activity occurs.
01:36 Olavon has repeatedly erupted since the 1700s and had a last major eruption in 2019.
