9 outletsOn 30 October 2026, Mount Mayon in the Philippine province of Albay erupted in what agencies described as a moderately explosive event, sending an ash column roughly 3,000 metres above its summit. The state volcanology agency raised the from 2 to 3 on its five-step scale and ordered evacuations within a 6-kilometre radius of the crater, signalling that a more hazardous eruption is possible in coming weeks but is not imminent at the highest level.
The claim rests on a named primary source, PHIVOLCS, the Philippine government's volcanology and seismology agency, and is reported consistently by multiple reputable outlets including Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Anadolu Agency. The alert-level change, ash-column height, and evacuation radius are direct agency figures conveyed by mainstream secondary reporting, so the claim is solid for what it asserts.
Genuinely new: the eruption and alert-level change were reported on 30 October 2026, the same day they occurred, with no recirculation year indicated.
