Ruang Volcano Erupts in Indonesia, Officials Warn of Tsunami Risk
The Ruang volcano in Indonesia has been causing chaos this week with multiple violent eruptions that have sent columns of lava, rock, and ash shooting as high as two miles into the sky. The 750-foot volcano has prompted officials to raise the alert level to the highest possible, warning of a potential tsunami risk.
This isn’t the first time the Ruang volcano has wreaked havoc. In 1871, it erupted and collapsed into the water, resulting in the deaths of roughly 400 people. With this recent activity, over 800 local residents have already been evacuated, while another 11,000 have been advised to leave their homes as a precaution.
The eruptions have also had a major impact on the surrounding area. The airport in Manado has been shut down, and a nearby hospital had to be evacuated due to falling rocks and damage to homes. Despite the chaos, as of Thursday, no casualties have been reported.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and urging residents to stay alert and follow evacuation orders. The unpredictable nature of volcanic activity makes it difficult to predict what will happen next, but emergency response teams are on high alert.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Ruang volcano eruption and the potential risks it poses to the surrounding communities.
