Rivers of hot lava engulfed on Saturday buildings near the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Spanish La Palma island.
The intensity of the hot red eruption had increased as scenes of lightning flashed in the sky.
According to Reuters, the lava eradicated more than four buildings in the Callejon de la Gata village.
“During the early morning, new flows have caused more destruction of properties,” tweeted the Spanish representative of the Canary Islands.
“Helplessness and pain in the face of so much damage.”
The National Geological Institute in Spain said there were 37 seismic movements on Saturday; the largest measured 4.1.
However, the airport of La Palma reopened on Saturday after being shut since Thursday due to the volcanic ash.
The air traffic operator in Spain, Aena, said that all other airports in the Canary Islands are now open.
The volcano has destroyed about 1,150 buildings and 480 hectares, according to the European Commission Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
Authorities have evacuated nearly 6,000 people in La Palma, which has a population of 83,000 people.
Early on Wednesday, witnesses saw flashes of lightning near the eruption site.
A 2016 study by Geophysical Research Letters found that Volcanoes can produce lightning due to the collision of ash with electrical charges.
Airlines advised planes traveling to the Canary Islands to load more fuel in case they had to change course because of the ash.
