MANILA, Philippines — Some communities near Taal Volcano were forced to evacuate their homes Thursday as increased volcanic unrest brought the alert level over the volcano to Alert Level 3.
Taal Volcano ejected a one-kilometer plume of steam and magma, which led to the raised alert level.
According to the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology, if unrest continues to increase, a "hazardous eruption is possible within days to weeks."
