A volcano erupted in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Brings 700 residents to safety.
The volcano is currently spewing ash and smoke up to four kilometers into the sky, the country’s civil protection agency said.
The erupting volcano was referred to as Mt. Ile Lewotolok and is about 2. 600 kilometers from Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.
Raditya Jati, a spokesman for the agency, said in a statement that it caused panic among people living nearby.
About 2. 780 people from 26 villages in the area have sought refuge and no casualties have been reported so far, Jati said.
Eyewitness Muhammad Ilham, 17, told Reuters that nearby residents have « panicked and are still seeking refuge and need money right now ».
On its website, the Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Reduction said that « hot clouds, lava flow, lava hawks and toxic gas » were likely to be seen in the surrounding areas. .
Kasbani, the head of the center, told Reuters that the volcano’s status was raised to the second highest level in Indonesia’s four-level alert system due to « increasing threats ». .
It is reported that there are three other volcanoes that have been given this level, the agency said.
These include the Merapi Volcano on Java Island and Sinabung on Sumatra, which erupted this month.
Many of these may be very active. It can take weeks or months for activity to occur.
