After tsunami and earthquake, Indonesia now faces volcanic eruptions.
A volcanic mountain Mount Soputan had erupted on Wednesday morning 08:47 AM (06:17 AM IST) at Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia.
Situated in the North Sulawesi province, the volcano is about 600 kilometres away from calamity-hit Palu.
According to Indonesia‘s National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), the volcano threw up an ash column at a height of 4000 meters into the air.
The ash column had “strong pressure”, “thick intensity”, and is inclined towards west and north-west.
A Level-3 status alert was issued by the agency which added that beyond 4-kilometre radius the people are safe.
The volcano erupts at a time when the locals are still recovering from the earthquake-tsunami effects that the nation has experienced on September 28.
