Dozens of earthquakes were reported on the Spanish island of La Palma over the past couple of days, while red-hot lava continued to flow from the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Drone footage showed the increased activity of the volcano after part of the crater collapsed and unleashed a cascade of faster-moving and thicker lava.

One official said the crater was "like a dam" because when the wall collapsed, fiery molten rock poured out from a "lava lake" inside.

Roughly 1,000 buildings have been destroyed since the eruption began on September 19 and 6,000 people have been evacuated.
