    Volcanic magma eruption begins in Iceland, meteorological office says
    April 01, 2025 8:51 AM

    COPENHAGEN — A magma outbreak began underground near Iceland's capital on Tuesday (April 1) but has yet to hit the surface as a full-blown volcanic eruption, the country's meteorological office said as the area was hit by hundreds of small earthquakes.

    "Warning: A magma eruption has begun," the meteorological office said in a statement.

    "No magma has reached the surface as of now, but an eruption is likely to occur," it said.

    The outbreaks on the Reykjanes peninsula so far have not directly affected the capital city and have not caused significant dispersal of ash into the stratosphere, avoiding air traffic disruption.

    April 01, 2025 7:29 AM

    But within 24 hours, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake had reduced parts of Naypyitaw to ruins, dealing a major blow to the home of Myanmar military power in the purpose-built, isolated capital whose Burmese name means "Abode of Kings".

    The ministry is without power or water and everyone from the minister down is sitting and working at the entrance, the official said.

    "Across the earthquake zone, roads are damaged, and this could impact logistics and deployments in the short term," Michaels said.

    The military continued to bomb towns even in the aftermath of the disaster, an armed opposition group said on Sunday.

    April 01, 2025 7:20 AM

    TAIPEI — China could find a "pretext" to stage new war games around Taiwan this year, coinciding with sensitive dates such as the anniversary in May of a year since President Lai Ching-te took office, a senior Taiwan coast guard official said.

    In case of war, the coast guard would be pressed into service and ships armed to help defend against a Chinese attack.

    China's coast guard has no publicly available media contacts.

    Outlining a new response strategy, Hsieh said the coast guard will evaluate the Philippines "transparency" policy to give details on China's actions to draw greater international attention.
