Multiple eruptions from the Ruang volcano in Indonesia's North Sulawesi province have led to the evacuation of at least 800 people. The volcano, located on Ruang island near the provincial capital Manado, emitted lava and ash clouds into the sky, prompting the National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure to raise the alert level to Orange. Evacuations were carried out in Pumpente Village and Pathology Village in the Tagulandang District, and communities around Mount Ruang were advised to stay vigilant and avoid the area near the active crater.
