The Taal Volcano in the Philippines erupted on Wednesday, sending a plume of ash and steam over 2 kilometers into the air. Despite the dramatic display, authorities have maintained a low alert level, indicating that a major eruption is not imminent. Public health warnings have been issued due to the ashfall, but no injuries have been reported. Taal is one of the world's smallest active volcanoes, and its eruptions have previously disrupted air travel and affected nearby regions, including the capital. Residents are advised to stay cautious and monitor updates from local authorities.
