In Indonesia, Mount Ruang has erupted again, generating an ash cloud up to 5,000 meters high and prompting the alert level to be raised to IV, the highest level. This eruption, following increased volcanic activity two weeks ago, has led to the evacuation of thousands of residents in the area and has affected air traffic, with the cancellation of domestic flights operated by AirAsia in Malaysia.
The Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMBG) has stated that the volcano erupted at 08:35 local time and volcanic activity remains active. Communities around Mount Ruang and visitors/tourists have been advised to be on alert and not to approach within a 6-kilometer radius.
