Some 87,000 people have been evacuated after Mount Kanlaon erupted in the Philippines, spewing out a towering plume of ash and superhot streams of gas and debris down its western slopes.
There are fears that it could erupt again, so authorities have scrambled in an attempt to keep as many people as safe as possible.
Visibility across the central regions is poor as a result of the ash cloud. At least six domestic flights and one Singapore-bound flight were cancelled and two local flights have been diverted.
