Tsunami threat over after huge Pacific volcano eruption

The threat of further tsunamis around the Pacific after Saturday's huge underwater volcano eruption near Tonga has passed, a monitoring group says.
On Sunday, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) said the threat had receded but coastal areas should remain alert for strong or unusual currents.
The US and Japan earlier warned people to move away from coastal areas.
But while further tsunamis may be unlikely, there are mounting fears over how badly Tonga has been hit.
At a news conference on Sunday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said boats and large boulders had washed ashore in the island nation's capital Nuku'alofa.
