Kilauea's alert level raised to orange due to increased earthquake activity and ground deformation, indicating potential magma movement and eruption risk.

Kilauea volcano's alert level has been raised to orange amid increased earthquake activity and ground deformation, indicating possible magma movement underground. Scientists warn that this may not lead to an eruption, but an eruption in Kilauea's summit region within the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is a potential outcome. The USGS continues to closely monitor Kilauea for signs of increasing activity.
