Bulusan, an active volcano located on the Filipino island of Luzon, worries the inhabitants. There was an eruption on Monday. A column of ash came out of the crater, which rose to a height of 4.5 kilometers.
The Filipino Institute of Volcanology and Sejsmology (Phivolcs) raised on Monday the alarm level of the Bulusan volcano from zero to the first in a five -stage, growing threat scale. This decision was caused by eruption. A column of ash came out of the crater, rising to a height of 4.5 kilometers.
The explosion caused the air quality in the Sorsogon province on the island of Luzon significantly deteriorated. Its inhabitants had to put on masks.
Dozens of shocks before eruption
Before the eruption, which took place between 4.30 and 5 on Monday, the Institute registered 53 shocks within 24 hours. Phivolcs called the inhabitants of Luzon to be vigilant. The authorities have designated a four -kilometer volcano threat zone.
