JAKARTA — A volcano in eastern Indonesia erupted three times on Thursday, belching an ash tower five kilometers into the sky and spewing lava against a backdrop of lightning, the Southeast Asian country's geological agency said.Mount Ibu, on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province, erupted on Thursday morning shortly after 1 a.m., then again at 7:46 a.m. and 8:11 a.m., the agency said.
Lightning is seen as lava breaks out of the crater of Mount Ibu, as seen from West Halmahera, North Maluku province, eastern Indonesia, on June 6, 2024. The latter eruption lasted about 2 minutes and released an ash column that 'was observed around 1,000 m above the peak,' geological agency chief Muhammad Wafid said in the statement.The agency advised residents and tourists to stay out of an exclusion zone between 4 and 7 km from Ibu's crater, and to wear eye and mouth coverings when outdoors.The eruptions were the latest in a series of huge belches that forced authorities to evacuate more than half a dozen villages last month.
