Mount Sinabung in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province erupts gushing 4,000 meter-high clouds of ash and smoke into the air while the catastrophic situation triggers massive evacuation. More than 14,300 people have been evacuated. Inhabitants of nearby villages have begun repairing the roofs of homes damaged by the eruption. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
One of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia, Mount Sinabung, is among more than 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Sunday’s eruption occurred at 19:29 p.m. Jakarta time (1229 GMT) with 4,000 meter high column of ash spewed to the sky.
