The Mayon Volcano in the Philippines erupted, prompting the evacuation of dozens of surrounding villages, authorities said Sunday. In an alert published on its website, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) warned of a "high level of magmatic activity," with lava flows stretching several kilometers.
