Indonesia is once again in the grip of a terrible volcano. Mount Ruang, the dangerous volcano here, has once again erupted, causing heaps of ash.
The Mount Ruang volcano erupted for the second time in two weeks on Tuesday. Ash was seen for about 2 kilometers in the sky and many villages were reported to be covered with ash. The airport was forced to close after the explosion.
Although the eruption did not cause any major damage, as sensors had already sent signals of a volcanic eruption, the Indonesian Geological Service issued a high-level warning of a volcanic eruption on the island of Sulawesi.
The security agency has urged local people and climbers to stay at least 6 kilometers away from the crater of the volcano. The volcano, approximately 735 meters high, is located in Indonesia's North Sulawesi province and about 95 kilometers northeast of Sam Ratulangi International Airport in the provincial capital Manado.
Amber Suryoko, head of the regional airport authority, said the airport was closed Tuesday morning due to low visibility and the threat of ash hitting aircraft engines.
According to news reports, the sky was covered with ash immediately after the volcano erupted. There is also news of rain of stones in many areas. About 330 thousand people live in Manado, a city near the volcano and according to a recent report, after the eruption, people have to travel with the lights of their vehicles on.
Ruang is one of about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia. The archipelago nation is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. That is why earthquakes keep happening in Indonesia.
