 KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Mount Nyamulagira erupted near the city of Goma in eastern Congo, threatening to shower ash on a national park that is home to some rare animals, officials said Tuesday.
The volcano began erupting Monday night, said Celestin Kasereka, head of the Goma volcano observatory.
The most immediate danger was to animals in Congo's nearby Virunga National Park, which were likely to fall ill or die from eating plants covered with the ash, Kasereka said.
