Volcano eruption on Jazirat al-Tair, 30/9
Lava spewed hundreds of metres into the air, witnesses said
A search for survivors is under way after a volcano erupted on a Yemeni island in the Red Sea, killing at least two people.
The western part of the tiny al-Tair island, used as a military base, collapsed following the eruption, the defence ministry said.
Two bodies were recovered from the sea and other soldiers are missing.
Yemeni coastguards requested the help of nearby Nato ships in the search and rescue operation.

"The lava is spewing hundreds of feet into the air, with the volcanic ash also 1,000 feet in the air."

Geologists say al-Tair, which lies on a major fault line, last saw a volcanic eruption in the late 19th Century.
Yemeni officials are linking the eruption to several small earthquakes which they say hit the island on Sunday morning.
