“We draw your attention to the fact that the Manila airport was declared closed ... due to volcanic ash emissions that reached the sky in Manila,” the airport said on Facebook.
It is noted that all flights scheduled for departure from Manila in the specified period are canceled.
Previously, CNN Philippines reported the evacuation of residents of nearby villages after emissions of a column of ash on Sunday, January 12.
According to the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Philippines (Phivolcs), a “dangerous explosive eruption” could soon occur.
