Following the second explosion, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre warned: “This might be from another explosion of Tonga volcano. There are no known earthquakes of significant size to generate this wave.”

“We suspect there could be up to 80,000 people throughout Tonga affected by either the eruption itself or from the tsunami wave and inundation as a result of the eruption,” Katie Greenwood of the International Federation of Red Cross said.
