The Mount Ruang volcano in Indonesia erupted on Tuesday for a second time in two weeks, emitting ash almost 2 km into the sky and leading to the closure of a nearby airport.
The alert level of the volcano situated on Sulawesi Island was recently raised to the highest after sensors picked up increasing volcanic activity, news reports said.
The authorities urged residents of the island as well as climbers to stay at least 6 km from the crater of the erupting volcano.
Take a look at the videos of the volcano below:
An X user wrote, “terrifying. Hope everybody is safe.” Another user commented, “Praying for Indo Pacific regions.” A third user said, “Stay safe everyone.”
Another video with the caption “Few more million tonnes of uncontrollable Co2 released they can’t tax you on” went viral simultaneously.
As ash and rock fell from the sky across the region, motorists in Manado, a city of over 4,30,000 people, had to switch on their headlights during daytime.
