Mount Ruang on Tagulandang Island, Indonesia has experienced at least five significant eruptions, leading to mass evacuations.

Residents' homes on nearby islands have been damaged, and there are tsunami fears due to the volcano's coastal location.

Air travel disruptions have ensued with the closure of a proximate airport, impacting international flights.

The Indonesian navy is actively involved in supporting evacuation operations.

Seismic activity in the vicinity has been identified as the eruption's trigger, resulting in the highest alert level being declared by authorities.

Indonesia's geographic position on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' makes it prone to frequent natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions.
