JAKARTA(Bernama): Indonesia's Mount Semeru erupted three times on Saturday morning, with the second eruption at 6.21 am triggering a pyroclastic flow that travelled about 3.5 kilometres down the volcano's southeastern slopes.
The MAGMA Indonesia volcano monitoring website, citing Semeru Volcano Observation Post officer Mukdas Sofian, said the three eruptions occurred from 5.24 am and 9.09 am, and sent ash columns between 500 and 1,000 metres above the mount’s summit.
Located in East Java, Mount Semeru is Indonesia’s highest volcano and among its most active.
Indonesia remains one of the most seismically active countries globally due to its position on the Pacific Ring of Fire. -- BERNAMA
