Authorities in the Philippines on Saturday raised the alert level for Taal volcano near Manila due to “increasing unrest”.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level for the volcano to 3 on a scale of 5 after it spewed plumes and logged earthquakes at 7.22 a.m., reports Xinhua news agency.
“Magmatic intrusion” at the main crater “may further drive succeeding eruptions”, the institute warned.
