"Indonesia's Mount Ruang Eruption Forces Hundreds to Evacuate Amid Red Ash Sky"
The days-long eruption of Indonesia's Ruang volcano in the North Sulawesi province has forced hundreds to evacuate as the sky fills with red ash, prompting officials to raise the alert level to three. The volcano monitoring agency reported hundreds of deep volcanic earthquakes and issued an orange-colored aviation code, indicating heightened unrest with increased likelihood of eruption. Indonesia sits along the "Ring of Fire," and in December, more than 20 people died in a surprise volcanic eruption at Mount Marapi on the island of Sumatra.
