The alert level was raised to the highest level after multiple eruptions, leading to fears of a possible collapse and tsunami. Indonesian authorities ordered the evacuation of hundreds of villagers from the remote island affected by Mount Ruang's activity. The eruption sent plumes soaring up to 70,000 feet high, disrupting air travel with flight cancellations to Sabah and Sarawak, causing inconvenience to many travelers.
