Ash Clouds Spew From Indonesia’s Mount Ibu Volcano As It Erupts

Mount Ibu volcano in Indonesia erupted on Tuesday, spewing thick columns of grey ash five kilometres (three miles) into the sky, the volcanology agency stated, but no evacuations were reported as of yet.

Heruningtyas Desi Purnamasari, an official of the PVMB agency, stated, “The volcano on the eastern island of Halmahera erupted at 5:36 a.m. for about two minutes, with all activities barred within seven kilometres (4.4 miles) of the crater”.

“The Mount Ibu volcano is recently active because there is an intense magma movement”, Heruningtyas continued, adding that the warning level had been raised to the highest level since May 16.

Clouds of grey ash billowed into the sky from the crater in video photos given by PVMB following a smaller eruption on Monday.

The BNPB disaster agency reported, “They are the latest in a series since May that spurred authorities to evacuate seven nearby villages, although Tuesday’s incident forced no new evacuation”.

Indonesia is located on the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’, which is a seismically active area where various tectonic plates intersect.

The Ruang volcano in North Sulawesi erupted last month, spewing incandescent lava, and forcing 12,000 people to evacuate.

Following torrential rain on May 11, flash floods and cold lava flow from Mount Marapi, one of West Sumatra’s most active volcanoes, swamped numerous adjacent districts, killing more than 60 people.
