A cloud of volcanic ash from the volcano Anabro (Nabro), on the border of Ethiopia - Eritrea, makes his way to the north - west. Satellite photographs show that the last few hours the cloud is now over Sudan, in the Red Sea. According to certain forecasts, in a few days volcanic ash could reach Israel, located about 1,700 km from the volcano. In this case, there may be cancellation of flights from Israel Strip.
The Epoch Times - a multi language Internet paper is reporting Nabro erupted in a Spanish edition. Its kinda strange both are large stratovolcanos [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovolcano ] and its looking like a rather large eruption that virtually no one has started covering. Dubbi has a history of very large eruptions and Nabro is a big volcano with no history of eruptions in the history of man.
In the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia, entered June 12 NaBr * Volcano eruption, also known as Anabro, Dubbie Volcanic Complex, with a cloud 15 miles high that now extends to Sudan. The eruption was preceded by a swarm of earthquakes and a series of strong earthquakes up to 5.7 degrees. [ http://www.lagranepoca.com/africa-vo...sta-sud%C3%A1n ]
Geology Department at Cambridge: Eruption in Eritrea 12 June 2011
Reports are coming in that one of the volcanoes of Eritrea, possibly Dubbi or Nabro, has erupted. Seismic records suggest three major events between 15:30 and 21:50 UTC on 12 June 2011. Loud explosions were heard in Afdera, across the border in Ethiopia, and ashfall is reported as far as Mekele in Tigray province. Dubbi?s eruption in 1861 is the largest documented historic eruption in Africa. Despite the sparse population in this part of the Danakil region, it reportedly killed 175 people, probably as a result of searing ?pyroclastic currents?. Nabro is part of a massive caldera system that straddles the Eritrean-Ethiopian border. [ http://www.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/p...ions/news.html ]
Eritrea eruption update: Nabro volcano erupts (updated)
with the release of high definition MODIS satellite imagery from the Aqua satellite it is now pretty clear that the eruption originates at Nabro [ http://volcanism.wordpress.com/ ]
GEOTHERMAL EXPLORATION IN ERITREA
STATUS REPORT AND DISCUSSION
Ermias Yohannes,
Ministry of Energy and Mines, Department of Mines, Asmara, ERITREA
[snip]
Nabro stratovolcano is the prominent volcano occurs in a line of NE-SW direction SW of Dubbi volcano here collectively named as Biddu or Nabro-Dubbi volcanic complex. The 2218 m high Nabro stratovolcano is the highest volcano in the Danakil depression and elsewhere in the eastern lowland. Nabro volcano (Figure 6) itself forms part of an enigmatic double caldera structure with a neighbouring volcano, Mallahle, which has a sub aerial volume of the order of 550 km3 (Wiart and
Oppenheimer, 2005). Trachytic lava flows and pyroclastic emplace primarily on the Nabro, followed by a post caldera rhyolitic obsidian domes and basaltic lava eruptions inside the caldera and on its flanks. Some very recent lava flows were erupted along NNW trending fissures transverse to the trend of the Nabbro-Dubbi volcanic range (Figure 7).

The government of Eritrea has a news release about eruption. Fortunately nobody was injured and they have moved people affected by the ash to a safe place and are caring for them.

Scientists initially wrongly identified the source of the eruption in the region close to the Ethiopian border as the nearby Dubbi volcano.
"The ash's direction and its intensity were very high on Sunday, but this morning the Modis [monitoring] satellite shows a weakening," Atalay Arefe, natural sciences professor at Addis Ababa University, said. [ http://english.aljazeera.net/news/af...314651149.html ]
I wonder why it was such a quick and unpredicted eruption so far.
Nabro Volcano Erupts Again Friday After Moderate Quake
By Mark Dunphy - Fri Jun 17, 11:36 am
Volcanic activity is continuing at the Nabro volcano in Eritrea, five days after the stratovolcano first sent an ash plume more than 15km into the air.
Another eruption on Thursday sent a massive ash plume westnorthwest over Sudan threatening to bring further disruption to air traffic in the east Africa region. Volcanic activity decreased overnight but a 5.5 magnitude earthquake on Friday morning led to a further increase in volcanic activity...
