"Iceland Declares State of Emergency as Volcano Erupts for Third Time"

A state of emergency has been declared in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula after a volcanic eruption damaged hot water pipes, prompting thousands to limit their hot water and electricity use. Concerns are raised about the potential impact on crucial pipelines near the Svartsengi power station, with the Blue Lagoon tourist attraction forced to close. The Icelandic Meteorological Office reports a decrease in the eruption's strength, but the situation remains uncertain for the affected residents and infrastructure.
