In the Philippines, Kanlaon Volcano erupted dramatically on Monday, prompting urgent evacuations as a towering ash column soared into the sky, according to the country's PHIVOLCS, which closely monitors these formidable natural events.
Meanwhile, in Syria, a new chapter unfolds as the Assad family's grip on power ends, marking a monumental shift in the nation's political landscape that offers fresh hopes for a brighter future.
This unexpected political upheaval in Syria has sent ripples through the global oil markets, leading to cautious gains amidst the region's mounting uncertainties and the critical role Middle Eastern countries play in energy supply.
