Congo volcano leaves smouldering wreckage, but major city mostly spared
Some boarded boats onto Lake Kivu, while others attempted to reach Mount Goma, the highest elevation point. Smoke rose from smouldering heaps of lava in the Buhene area near the city. Residents check the damage caused by lava from the overnight eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in Buhene, on the outskirts of Goma, early Sunday.

However, the airport appeared to be spared the same fate as in 2002, when lava flowed onto the runways.
