(Reuters) -Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano was erupting in “full swing” late on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, with local media reporting that the eruption posed no immediate danger to residents.

USGS Volcanoes tweeted that “What was once cooling lava lakes is now a fissure eruption.”

The U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) elevated  Kīlauea’s  volcano alert level from “WATCH” to “WARNING” and its aviation color code from “ORANGE” to “RED” as the  new eruption and associated hazards are evaluated, USGS said.

According to USGS’s website, the most recent alert level and color code suggest that an imminent eruption or slow-moving threat is possible.

Hawaii News Now reports that there was no eruption in the area where homes are located and it was completely contained within Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park.
