JAKARTA: A volcano erupted in Indonesia on Sunday spewing a cloud of ash 15km into the sky and forcing the evacuation of nearly 2,000 people, authorities said, as they issued their highest warning for the area in the east of Java island.
Semeru, the tallest mountain on Java, erupted last year killing more than 50 people and displacing thousands. The volcano's plume of ash reached a height of 15km, said Japan's Meteorology Agency, which had initially been on alert for the possibility that the volcano could trigger a tsunami. It later ruled that out.
"Semeru's hot clouds could reach further and at a distance where there are many residences," he said.
