On Monday, Mount Kanlaon, a volcano located on central Negros island in the Philippines, erupted, sending a plume of hot ash and gases up to three kilometers high. While there have been no immediate reports of casualties, the eruption prompted authorities to take precautionary measures.
Residents in several villages were affected by ashfalls, leading to reduced visibility for motorists and health concerns. Schools were closed, and a nighttime curfew was imposed to ensure the safety of the residents.
