Thousands of people living near the Philippines' most active volcano began leaving their homes on Tuesday as lava trickled down its slopes and authorities warned of a dangerous eruption. Mayon, a volcano famed in equal parts for its near-perfect cone and brutal volatility, had begun to stir again with magma rising to the top and small earthquakes rattling deep inside, authorities said.
"A hazardous eruption is possible within weeks," the director of the state volcanology agency, Renato Solidum, told AFP.
Residents within an 5-mile radius will be forcibly evacuated, said regional civil defence director Bernardo Alejandro. |
