ANKARA

Mount Ubinas in southwestern Peru is expected erupt in the near future, according to the country's geophysical Institute.

The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) recommended on Wednesday that nearby villages immediately evacuate from the area at risk of being affected by ash and lava.

"The institute continues to monitor anomalies in various geophysical parameters that would be associated with the rise of magma and increased seismic energy, the IGP said in a statement.

Expulsion of rock fragments and dust is expected, the institute added, reiterating an "orange alert" in the area.

Authorities also reported that 102 earthquakes were recorded inside the Ubinas volcano.

A strong explosion on Monday night ejected incandescent fragments to the areas near the volcano reaching a size of up to 6.4 centimeters, which are under analyzation process by specialists.
