Mount Ruang erupted three times on April 30, spewing lava and ash into the sky and forcing authorities to issue evacuation orders.

A rescue ship and a warship were dispatched to help move thousands from neighbouring Tagulandang island north to Siau island because of a warning about parts of the volcano falling into the sea and potentially causing a tsunami. The country’s meteorological agency BMKG shared a map on the morning of May 1 that showed volcanic ash had reached as far as eastern Malaysia on Borneo island, which the country shares with Indonesia and Brunei.
