Lava flows down from the crater of Mount Merapi as seen from Kaliurang, in Yogyakarta on February 19, 2021.
JAKARTA — Indonesia’s Mount Merapi, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, erupted on Friday, belching out fiery red lava. The volcano, close to Indonesia’s cultural capital Yogyakarta on Java island, had already spewed lava almost two dozen times over the two last days and caused hundreds of minor volcanic quakes, according to a report by Indonesia’s geological agency.“This morning, lava avalanches were observed seven times,” the agency said, with the lava travelling up to 700 metres to the southwest.
However, an official warning over the status of the volcano was unchanged at its second highest level, where it has remained since November last year.
