Indonesian authorities have taken swift action in response to the eruption of Mount Ruang on Sulawesi Island. The volcano experienced at least five large eruptions, prompting the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation to issue its highest level alert. The continuous emission of white-gray smoke, reaching over 500 meters above the peak, has raised concerns about the safety of residents in the area.
With more than 11,000 people living near the volcano, authorities have ordered evacuations and instructed individuals to stay at least 6 kilometers away from the 725-meter mountain. While over 800 people have already left the area, the evacuation efforts are ongoing to ensure the safety of all residents.
