More than 800 people evacuated from Mount Ruang as alert level raised to four – highest in four-tier system
Authorities in Indonesia have issued a tsunami alert after a volcano erupted several times in the country’s southernmost region, spewing a column of smoke more than a mile into the sky and forcing hundreds of people to be evacuated from their homes.
Mount Ruang, a stratovolcano in North Sulawesi province, first erupted at 9.45pm local time on Tuesday and then four times throughout Wednesday, Indonesia’s volcanology agency said.
