Mount Ruang erupted three times on Tuesday, spewing lava and ash more than 5km (three miles) into the sky and forcing authorities to issue evacuation orders for 12,000 people. A rescue ship and a warship were dispatched to help move people from neighbouring Tagulandang island north to Siau island because of fears parts of the volcano would fall into the sea, potentially causing a tsunami.
