Hundreds of residents near Indonesia's Mount Ibu are fleeing to safety after the volcano erupted twice in 24 hours, sending ash and smoke soaring 5,000 meters into the sky! 🌪️ Authorities raised the alert to the highest level Thursday, triggering emergency evacuations for those living within a 7km danger zone.
\"This is preventive action to save lives,\" said local disaster official Muhammad Ade Fabanyo. Over 400 people from seven villages have already relocated to shelters, with more expected as volcanic activity intensifies. 🏠➡️🚑
Mount Ibu, located on remote Halmahera Island, has been restless for weeks—but this week’s back-to-back eruptions mark its most aggressive activity yet. Satellite images show ash clouds drifting over the region, raising concerns about air travel disruptions. ✈️⚠️
Indonesia sits on the Pacific \"Ring of Fire,\" home to over 120 active volcanoes. While eruptions are common, this swift evacuation highlights the delicate balance between nature’s fury and human resilience. 💪🌏
