The Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recorded 22 volcanic earthquakes in Mount Ruang in Sitaro Islands Regency, North Sulawesi.
"It was also recorded that 34 gust earthquakes, three shallow volcanic times, four local tectonic earthquakes, 87 distant tectonic earthquakes, and one flood vibrational earthquake," said Head of the Geological Agency, Mohammad Wafid AN in a report on the activity of Mount Ruang for the period from 16-30 November 2024, quoting Antara.
In the report shared in the conversation group Info Gunung Api Sitaro, it is stated that, in general, the volcanic earthquake of Mount Ruang tends to be low, more dominated by tectonic earthquakes, estimated the influence of North Sulawesi subduction and double subduction in the Maluku Sea.
The activity of Mount Ruang is still not back to normal, although the number of seismicities has decreased considerably compared to April-May 2024, with the number of volcanic earthquakes in the range of 1-3 per day.
However, visually, white main crater smoke was still observed with a thin-thick intensity and a height of about 50 - 200 meters from the summit.
In the period 16-30 November 2024, the number of seismicities has not changed significantly compared to the period 1-15 November 2024.
On November 29, 2024, there were 25 gusts and one flood vibration with an amplitude of 13 millimeters and a duration of 1068 seconds.

The crater smoke was observed to be weakly white pressure with moderate and high intensity of smoke in the range of 50-100 meters from the summit.
"The current potential danger is in the form of an eruption that produces incandescent material, and exposure to volcanic ash that depends on the direction and speed of the wind and lahar if heavy rains fall around Mount Ruang," he added.
Mount Ruang Erupsi was explosive on April 17, 2024 at 01.08 WITA with an eruption column height estimated at 2,500 meters and accompanied by rumbling sounds and crashings.
The next more devastating eruption occurred on April 30, 2024 at 01.15 WITA, starting with a significant increase in shallow volcanic earthquakes from April 28-29, 2024.
Residents of the village of Pumpente and Laingpatehi Village who live on Pulau Ruang must be relocated to Modisi Village, Bolaang Mongondow Regency.
