Mount Ibu's Intense Eruption Triggers Heightened Alert in Indonesia

The volcanic activity at Mount Ibu has escalated, propelling ash up to 5 kilometers into the sky and prompting preparations for potential evacuations.

Mount Ibu erupted, sending a massive ash column 5 kilometers into the sky, marking one of its largest recent eruptions.
Over 13,000 residents live within a 3-mile radius of the crater, with local authorities setting up evacuation facilities.
The volcano's alert level was raised to the second-highest last week, indicating increased seismic activity and potential for further eruptions.
Officials have advised residents to wear masks and glasses outdoors to protect against ash, although no mandatory evacuations have been ordered yet.
Indonesia's geographical position on the 'Ring of Fire' makes it prone to frequent seismic and volcanic activities, affecting thousands annually.
