Authorities ordered the evacuation of residents living near a volcano in central Philippines on June 4, 2024, following an eruption that sent a 5km (3-mile) high ash cloud into the sky. Government officials warned of the possibility of further eruptions of Kanlaon volcano, as well as hazardous ash fall and sulphuric odour. They also warned that rivers downstream from the volcano were at risk of flash floods, mudflows and other hazards. Time-lapse video from thermal cameras provided by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology showed the moment the volcano erupted.
