sions indicating continued movement of magma beneath the crater, PHIVOLCS said. A six-kilometre (3.7-mile) permanent danger zone remains in effect due to the risk of sudden explosions, pyroclastic density currents and lava collapse. Thousands of residents have been displaced since eruptive activity intensified nearly eight weeks ago. Local disaster officials said evacuees are staying in temporary shelters while authorities assess conditions daily. PHIVOLCS also warned of potential lahars volcanic mudflows that can occur when rain mixes with ash deposits, particularly if heavy rainfall affects the region. Mayon, known for its near symmetrical cone is one of the Philippines most active volcanoes. Its eruptions have ranged from effusive lava flows to explosive events that have caused casualties and widespread damage in the past. Aviation authorities have advised pilots to avoid the volcano’s summit area due to possible ash plumes, though no major flight disruptions were immediately reported. Officials urged residents to remain vigilant and follow government advisories, saying the duration and intensity of the eruption remain uncertain. Source: Philippines Post
