Mount Ruang, a stratovolcano located in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province, recently experienced multiple eruptions. The first eruption took place on April 16 followed by a series of eruptions on April 17.
The volcano emitted plumes of ash, lava and smoke hundreds of feet into the sky.
Hundreds of people were evacuated from the region and the Sam Ratulangi International Airport located close to the affected area was shut temporarily.
As the volcano’s debris could fall into the sea and give rise to a tsunami, authorities issued a tsunami alert and also warned people to stay 6kms away from the volcanic mountain.
