Mount Ruang, a remote volcano in Indonesia’s far north erupted again Friday, local officials reported, after the crater emitted columns of smoke and lava several times this week, forcing many to flee.
The country’s volcanology agency reported that the eruption generated a column of smoke 400 metres (1,312 feet) over the top.
“There was an eruption of Mount Ruang, North Sulawesi at 1706 local time, 0906 GMT”, the agency claimed.
It went on to say, “The ash column was observed to be grey in color… and leaning towards the south”.
While officials reported Ruang had begun to settle on Friday, authorities maintained the highest alert level on a four-tiered system, indicating intense volcanic activity.
The officials also advised inhabitants to stay at least six kilometres (four miles) from the crater.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago country, is subject to regular seismic and volcanic activity due to its location on the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’.
