Approximately 87,000 individuals are being evacuated in a central Philippine region following a recent eruption of Mount Kanlaon on central Negros island. The volcano erupted with a towering ash plume and streams of gas and debris, prompting authorities to raise the alert level, indicating the possibility of further explosive eruptions.
The volcanic ash from Mount Kanlaon's eruption has affected a wide area, including Antique province, more than 200 kilometers away. This has led to visibility issues and health risks for residents in the vicinity.
