Mayon volcano rages: 2,000 people saved

Mount Mayon in the Philippines has become active, a volcano documented for nearly 400 years. More than thirty settlements have been affected by the eruption, and about 2,000 people have left their homes due to evacuation. Ash deposits cover fields and roads, drastically reducing visibility. Authorities have urged residents to wear protective masks to avoid inhaling ash.

Mayon is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines, having erupted more than 50 times in the last 400 years, including recent activity last year. The current situation has led to mass evacuations and efforts by local authorities to ensure public safety.

Vasya's clarification: Rescue and evacuation measures were taken in the past 24 hours, but monitoring of volcanic activity continues.
