The company saw same-store sales rise by 1.9% worldwide between January and March, below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%. Increased menu pricing and delivery demand saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%. In international markets, sales fell by 0.2% for the first time since 2020. Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates. 'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East have been boycotting McDonald's for months. The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in Israel announced in October that it would provide free meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza. In the months since then, the company has tried to limit the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.

Since the night of April 16, a 2,400-foot volcano known as Mount Ruang "erupted at least five times," CNN reports. . Authorities fear that Mount Ruang could collapse into the ocean and trigger a tsunami, just like it did in 1871. Earthquakes that recently occurred in the area reportedly triggered the eruptions. . The force of Mount Ruang’s eruption is getting bigger and has emitted hot clouds of approximately 1.7 kilometers, Hendra Gunawan, the head of Indonesia's volcanology agency, via CNN. About 800 people live on Ruang Island. According to authorities, they have evacuated to Tagulandang Island. . Officials warn that even those on Tagulandang Island should be aware of possible "falling incandescent rocks and hot cloud surges," CNN reports. . There have been no casualties reported thus far. Indonesia, which sits on the Ring of Fire, has over 120 active volcanoes.
