Kanlaon Volcano, one of the Philippines’ 24 active volcanoes, erupted on Monday afternoon, spewing a massive ash column 3,000 meters into the sky. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported the eruption at 3:03 PM local time, warning of a potential escalation into explosive eruptions. Authorities have ordered the evacuation of residents within a six-kilometer radius of the summit and advised preparedness for further evacuations. Videos shared on social media showed a giant, cauliflower-shaped plume rising above the crater, with red-hot ashes and debris falling on the southeastern slope. In September, Kanlaon forced evacuations after releasing harmful gases. Officials are closely monitoring the situation as volcanic activity intensifies. Volcano Erupts in Colombia: Antioquia’s San Jose Mulatos Volcano Erupts Sending Mud and Ash Soaring Into Sky.
