About 29 flights from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in the Philippines have been cancelled due to the eruption of the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island, according to state news agency (PNA), citing the Manila International Airport Authority on Tuesday (June 4).
On Monday night, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level of Mt. Kanlaon from Level 1 to Level 2 due to an "explosive eruption "that lasted 6 minutes.
The volcanic eruption sent a plume of ash and steam five kilometres (three miles) into the sky, the volcanology agency said.

There were no immediate reports of evacuations but all activities are barred within seven kilometres (4.4 miles) of the crater.
