Pupils watched from a school as the Mount Kanlaon Volcano spewed a massive cloud of grey ash, smoke, and gas in the Philippines today, December 9.

The children were allowed to go home early, with some worried parents fetching their kids in Negros Occidental.

Evacuations are also underway for families living near the volcano in Negros Island after the recent explosive eruption.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level to 3 in Negros Island with traced movements of magma.

It said: 'All local government units are advised to evacuate the six-kilometre radius from the summit of the volcano and must be prepared for additional evacuation if activity warrants.'

Kanlaon is one of the 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines.

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands inside the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.
