The heads of state from Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have jointly expressed "grave concern" regarding China's conduct in the contested South China Sea. Over recent years, Beijing has intensified its presence in this crucial maritime region, leading to heightened tensions, notably with the Philippines. This nation, among others in Southeast Asia, asserts territorial claims over portions of the sea adjacent to its shores. In response to a recent altercation near Second Thomas Shoal that resulted in injuries to Filipino soldiers and damage to vessels, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines declared Manila's intention to enact countermeasures against China. The leaders of Japan, the Philippines, and the United States expressed shared concerns over the People's Republic of China's (PRC) provocative actions in the South China Sea during the inaugural summit held in Washington, DC. This joint statement comes amid escalating tensions in the region.

Indonesia Issues Tsunami Alert , Following Volcano Eruption.
On April 17, hundreds of villagers on
Ruang Island, North Sulawesi, were ordered
to evacuate by Indonesian authorities.

"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.
