Filipino authorities issued emergency evacuation orders after a volcano in the central Philippines erupted for a second time this year, spewing a high column of ash into the sky.
Mount Kanlaon, an active volcano straddling the central provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental, sent an ash cloud up to 4,000m into the sky at about 3pm (local time). Kanlaon is one of 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines.
