New Zealand's White Island raises aviation alert to orange due to increased volcanic activity.

New Zealand's Whakaari/White Island has raised its aviation code to orange due to increased volcanic activity, including higher ash and gas emissions. GNS Science, the country's geohazards agency, is closely monitoring the volcano, which can erupt with little warning. The heightened activity suggests the presence of fresh magma, potentially leading to further eruptions similar to earlier this year.
