Indonesian authorities have taken significant steps in response to the recent eruption of Mount Ruang near Manado, Indonesia. The Sam Ratulangi airport, which had been closed since Thursday due to the volcanic activity, has now been reopened as the alert level for the volcano was lowered from four to three on Monday.
Despite the downgrade in the alert level, residents are still advised to maintain a safe distance of at least 4 kilometers from the volcano. Over 3,000 residents have been evacuated from the area since Thursday to ensure their safety from potential hazards such as ash, falling rocks, hot volcanic clouds, and the risk of a tsunami.
