Town evacuated in Chile as volcano erupts

Around 1,500 people have been evacuated after the Calbuco volcano in southern Chile erupted for the first time in 43 years.

The evacuation of the town of Ensenada was a precaution, authorities in Chile said.

People living within a 12.5 mile radius were told to leave their homes and flights over the volcano were suspended as an additional safety measure.
