  About 87,000 people are being evacuated in a central Philippine region after a volcano erupted with a huge plume of ash and superhot streams of gas and debris hurtling down its slopes. The eruption Monday of Mount Kanlaon on central Negros island did not cause any immediate casualties,

A mass evacuation of villages in the Philippines is underway following a significant volcanic eruption from Mount Kanlaon on Negros Island. The eruption, which occurred on Monday night, involved a brief but intense burst of ash and steam, prompting the evacuation of over 700 individuals from the vicinity of the volcano. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level due to the potential for further eruptions, with the volcano spewing ash up to 5 kilometers into the sky. Local authorities have set up temporary shelters and are closely monitoring the situation, urging residents to stay alert for possible lahars, pyroclastic flows, and ash falls. The eruption has caused disruptions, including flight cancellations and road closures, as the region braces for more volcanic activity.
