From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Redoubt Volcano rumbled through another eruption, ejecting a plume that rose more than 5 miles into the sky, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said. There was no confirmation of ash in the plume, but it probably contained some, an observatory geologist said. The FAA alerted pilots that volcanic ash was possible in the Redoubt area. Ash can shut down jet engines.
