Nearby communities were evacuated and so far no reports of injuries or deaths have been stated.
–“Flight paths between Sydney and Narita [Tokyo] and Sydney and Shanghai have been altered as a result of the volcanic ash cloud over Rabaul in eastern Papua New Guinea,” a spokeswoman for Qantas, Sarah Algar, said. “QF21, QF22 and QF130 will now fly over central Papua New Guinea to avoid the cloud.”–
