Is Tobaru erupting right now?
NASA's Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (EONET) has an open volcanic event for Tobaru, last updated Jun 6, 2023 (1238 days ago). EONET opens an event when agencies such as the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program report eruptive activity or unrest, and closes it when activity ends.
No satellite thermal hot spot was detected within 10 km of the summit in the latest NASA FIRMS data, so there is no sign of lava at the surface large enough for VIIRS to see (clouds can hide it).
Earthquakes near Tobaru
USGS has no earthquake within 50 km of Tobaru in the past 30 days. Outside the United States USGS mainly lists quakes above about M4, so small volcanic tremors recorded by the local observatory will not appear here.

Flights and volcanic ash
No major hub airport is within 400 km (the closest is Ninoy Aquino, 1608 km away), but ash clouds from explosive eruptions can drift for thousands of kilometres along flight routes.
Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres (VAACs) issue the official ash advisories that airlines and air traffic control follow.
