The Ruang volcano in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, has been experiencing significant volcanic activity, leading to multiple eruptions and the evacuation of 838 residents. The Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation has raised the alert level from III (Alert) to IV (Warning) on April 17, 2024, advising people to stay within a 6 km radius of the volcano's peak. The eruptions, characterized by high plumes of ash reaching up to 60,000 feet and pyroclastic flows, have prompted fears of a potential tsunami, especially as parts of the volcano could collapse into the sea. Authorities have issued a tsunami alert for the area, and the situation remains critical with ongoing evacuations and monitoring.
