Hundreds of people in Indonesia had to be evacuated from their homes in the North Sulawesi province as the Ruang volcano continues its days-long eruption. The volcano has been seen filling the sky with red ash as the country’s volcano monitoring agency reports hundreds of deep volcanic earthquakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indonesia’s National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure, known as BNPB, said in a news release on Wednesday that volcanic activity has increased, prompting officials to raise the alert level to three \u2013 the second-highest warning level in their monitoring system.

At least 828 people were evacuated from the area amid the eruption, BNPB said, many boarded onto ferries to go to nearby areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
