Indonesia Mount Ruang Volcano Eruption: The impact of global warming is clearly visible on the world. Just as 4 countries including the United Arab Emirates are struggling with the problem of rain and floods, Indonesia is facing the threat of tsunami after the volcanic eruption. Mount Ruang is an island in Indonesia. Here the volcano is erupting again and again. There were 5 explosions in Jchalamukhi in the last 24 hours. Officials fear it could collapse and cause a tsunami. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area in view of security.
Authorities in Indonesia have issued a tsunami warning after a volcano erupted several times in North Sulawesi province. Due to the volcanic eruption, smoke spread more than a mile into the sky and hundreds of people were forced to come out of their homes.
The #HungaTonga -Hunga Ha’apai #volcano in January 2022 was one of the most powerful in recent history.

The first explosion took place on Tuesday
A stratovolcano in Mount Ruang first erupted at 9.45pm local time on Tuesday and then four times on Wednesday, the volcano agency said. Officials are concerned that part of the volcano could fall into the ocean and cause a tsunami. This happened in 1871. Tagulandang Island, northeast of the volcano, is again under threat. People living here are being asked to vacate their houses.
The alert level for the volcano, which is 725 meters above sea level, was raised from three to four on Wednesday evening. It is the highest level in the four-tier system.
increase in volcanic activity
Hendra Gunawan, head of Indonesia’s volcanology agency, said in a statement that the results of the visual and sound investigation were shocking. An increase in volcanic activity was observed. Mount Ruang was raised from level three to level four. Authorities extended the 4 km exclusion zone around the crater to 6 km on Wednesday evening.
State agency Antara said there were no reports of deaths or injuries so far. But more than 800 people were evacuated from two villages on Ruang Island to nearby Tagulandang Island, more than 60 miles north of Manado, the provincial capital.
Indonesia’s national disaster mitigation agency said residents would be transferred to Manado, the nearest city on Sulawesi island, a six-hour journey by boat.
430 people were killed in 2018
In 2018, there was a volcanic eruption in Anak Krakatau, Indonesia. Due to this, after some parts of the mountain fell into the sea, a tsunami occurred on the coasts of Sumatra and Java, in which 430 people died.
