Residents flee in panic after DRC orders evacuation after night-time eruption of volcano
A river of boiling lava has come to a halt on the outskirts of Goma, sparing the city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo from disaster after the night-time eruption of Mount Nyiragongo sent thousands of terrified residents fleeing in panic.
Fire and strong fumes emanated from the blackish molten rock as it swallowed up houses, heading towards Goma airport on the shores of Lake Kivu.
