ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Volcanic activity in northern Ethiopia’s long-dormant Hayli Gubbi volcano subsided Tuesday after an eruption over the weekend that left a trail of destruction in nearby villages and caused flight cancellations after ash plumes disrupted high-altitude flight paths.
The ash cloud drifted over northern India, causing some flight delays and cancellations, and continued toward China.
The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia erupted after nearly 12,000 years, sending ash plumes across the Red Sea to India, affecting visibility and air quality in northwest regions before drifting toward China and the Pacific.
The Hayli Gubbi volcano in northeast Ethiopia, believed to have been dormant for up to 12,000 years, erupted on 23 November 2025, sending a massive plume of ash and sulfur dioxide high into the atmosphere.
A plume of volcanic ash from Ethiopia has swept across the Red Sea through Oman and Yemen and reached Delhi, the IMD said. India News.
