s Mount Semeru erupted Sunday spewing hot ash clouds a mile into the sky, prompting authorities to raise the volcano's alert status to the highest level.
The increased threat level “means the danger has threatened the people’s settlement and the volcano’s activity has escalated,“ Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center spokesperson Hendra Gunawan told broadcaster Kompas TV. No casualties or injuries were immediately reported after the eruption but Gunawan warned nearby residents not to travel within eight kilometres of the crater after the threat level was raised to four.
