In the Philippines, the eruption of the Taal volcano began, 65 kilometers from the capital of the Philippines, Manila: after the release of a column of ash from the crater, lava and magma flows began to erupt. Seismologists have warned of an explosive eruption that could put up to 200,000 people in the region at risk.

The Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most active seismic zones, with more than 450 volcanoes - over 75 percent of all volcanoes in the world.

According to unconfirmed information, one person died during the evacuation when his truck overturned on a sharp bend due to poor visibility caused by an ash cloud.
The Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Philippines has rated the eruption a level four out of five. About 80,000 residents of nearby settlements were evacuated, and a state of emergency was introduced in the province of Batangas, reports.

The Taal volcano released a column of ash about a kilometer high. The ash covered an area up to a hundred kilometers within a radius of the volcano. 70 tremors were recorded. The eruption was accompanied by lightning discharges caused by static electricity. Schools, some government offices and the stock exchange are closed in Manila. The authorities had to cancel 220 flights since the beginning of volcanic activity, air traffic was only partially restored.

Taal is one of the smallest volcanoes in the world, seismologists call it complex and unpredictable. The volcano is located on the island of Luzon, in the center of the Taal freshwater lake and constantly attracts tourists. Taal has erupted a total of 36 times since 1572, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Phivolcs. In 1911, it caused the death of 1,300 people, and its last activity was recorded in 2021.

The mayor said about 8,200 residents of high-risk villages in her city are ready to move to safety if the volcanic unrest continues.

The head of the Phivolcs Institute, Renato Solidum, said that magma is still rising, which could lead to “even more dangerous activity” of the volcano. Phivolcs is warning everyone within a 14 km radius of the volcano to evacuate.

Local residents should also wear medical masks and take other measures to protect themselves from volcanic ash.
Renato Solidum, from the state institute of volcanology, said it is not yet clear if the volcano will continue to be active or if it will calm down. He said that if there was no escalation or downward trend after two weeks of careful observation, the institute could decide to reduce the level of danger.
