Summary

Mayon Volcano in Albay province, Philippines, experienced a moderately explosive eruption on October 30, 2026, lasting nearly six minutes. The eruption sent an ash plume to heights between 3,000 meters (reported by Xinhua and multiple sources) and 3 kilometers above the crater, with a subsequent ash column rising 200 meters above the summit on October 31. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level from 2 to 3, indicating increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption and potential for lava flows and pyroclastic density currents. Authorities ordered mandatory evacuation of residents within the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone, displacing over 2,000 individuals across multiple towns and cities including Camalig, Tabaco City, Guinobatan, Daraga, Sto. Domingo, Legazpi City, and Malilipot. The eruption was followed by 15 earthquakes and 30 rockfalls. Ashfall affected surrounding areas, prompting health authorities to distribute 22,000 surgical masks and issue respiratory protection advisories. Aviation authorities established a no-fly zone and issued volcanic ash advisories. No deaths or injuries were reported from this eruption.
