Tonga volcano eruption fills sky with black ash clouds

Clouds of ash filled the horizon moments after a submarine volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga.

Fierce clouds stretching 12-miles high and three-miles wide formed above the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano spewing ash, gas and steam into the atmosphere.

The eruption is being dubbed "one of the most violent volcano eruptions ever captured on satellite".

A tsunami warning had been put in force for the entirety of the Pacific nation.
