Indonesian authorities issued a cautionary statement on Wednesday, alerting to the potential for tsunami waves as the activity of Mount Ruang escalates. They emphasized that the volcanic eruption, ongoing for several days, has reached its peak level.
The volcanic eruption that occurred in southwest Iceland on Monday is showing signs of weakening, according to the country's meteorological office. Although three vents are currently erupting, down from the initial five, the office warns that new vents could open suddenly. The eruption, on the Reykjanes peninsula, followed weeks of intense earthquakes and tremors, leading to the evacuation of about 4,000 people from the threatened fishing town of Grindavik. While there are no reported injuries, concerns about potential damage to houses persist.
