The Kanlaon volcano just produced a large eruption, sending thousands of tons of lava bombs high into the sky. Pyroclastic flows were also generated, which scorched a square kilometer of land. What had just occurred was an explosive vulcanian eruption resulting from the formation and then breaking of a plug in its magma conduit. Although ash did fall on some nearby locations and some schools were closed for the day, the eruption wasn't damaging.
