"Mass Evacuations as Indonesia's Mount Ruang Volcano Spews Lava and Ash"

TL;DR Summary
Multiple eruptions of Mount Ruang volcano in Indonesia have prompted authorities to issue a tsunami alert and evacuate over 11,000 people. The volcano, located on Sulawesi island, has had at least five large eruptions in the past 24 hours, leading to the highest level of volcano alert being raised. Indonesia, known for its 120 active volcanoes, sits along the "Ring of Fire" and is prone to volcanic activity.

Residents are being relocated to the nearest city, Manado, as a precautionary measure.
