23 injured when 'lava bomb' strikes boat in Hawaii

A projectile from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii struck a boat carrying people watching lava from the two-month-old eruption, injuring 23, according to the local fire department.

The incident happened on Monday morning in local time. The lava bomb, or flying chunk of molten rock, left a large hole in the boat's roof.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted in early May, sending a smoldering flow of lava into residential areas on the Big Island, damaging over 100 houses.
