A massive ash plume rose 10,000 feet into the sky from Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, per NBC News. The eruption sent volcanic debris across the region, prompting evacuations and grounding flights.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported that the volcano's activity has intensified, with frequent explosions and lava flows, CBS News reports. Authorities have established a 5-kilometer exclusion zone around the volcano.
Residents in nearby towns were evacuated as volcanic ash began falling across the region, according to USA Today. The ash cloud disrupted air travel, with several flights delayed or diverted due to poor visibility conditions.
The eruption occurred along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a seismically active zone that includes the Philippines, CNN notes. Volcanic activity in this area is common, but recent events have heightened regional alert levels.
