A second eruption of an active volcano on Java, Indonesia’s island has occurred in the last few months.
Witnesses claim that a rain of volcanic rock from Mt Semeru has been obscuring the sun in two areas. A monitoring body also warned of rising ash clouds for airlines.
According to officials, there have been no reports of casualties as evacuations continue.
Villagers seek shelter in temporary housing. The second active volcano to erupt on Java, Indonesia’s island has happened in two months.
Ash fell off of a railing. Officials have confirmed that there are not yet any reported deaths as evacuations are ongoing.
It occurred at 2.30pm local. After the eruption, the local authorities established a three-mile radius around the crater.
Thoriqul Haq (a local official) told Reuters that a bridge and road linking the area with Malang was damaged.
He stated, “This was a very urgent, fast condition since it began.”
Campbell Biggs (a meteorologist with The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center) told The BBC that the ash cloud is higher than the cruising height for most aircraft, and could cause divertissements.
