The eruption produced a large ash plume and hot gas flows, prompting authorities to raise the alert level. Volcanic ash affected areas over 200 kilometers away, leading to flight cancellations and visibility issues. Evacuations are focused on towns near the volcano, with many residents moving to evacuation centers or staying with relatives. Authorities are monitoring air quality for toxic gases and have closed schools in vulnerable areas. Disaster-response teams are preparing supplies as the region approaches the busy holiday season.
