Authorities have urged residents and visitors to exercise caution, stay informed, and adhere to safety advisories as they closely monitor the escalating volcanic activity.
On Sunday, Japanese officials raised the warning level for Shinmoedake, emphasizing the potential risk of an eruption in the near future. While the alert calls for heightened vigilance, no evacuation orders have been issued yet.

Shinmoedake has a history of volcanic activity, prompting officials to take necessary precautions to ensure public safety. Although there are no immediate signs of a major eruption, experts are carefully observing the volcano for any further developments that might indicate increased risks.

Given this volatile landscape, Japan’s authorities maintain strict monitoring of volcanic hotspots to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard both residents and tourists.
As the situation unfolds, officials continue to issue updates and advisories, urging the public to remain cautious and informed about any changes in Shinmoedake’s activity.
