Indonesia’s Semeru volcano on Java island erupted early on Sunday, spewing an ash column 2km (1.24 mile) high and prompting authorities to warn people to stay away from the eruption range.
Earlier this month, the eruption of Semeru, Java’s tallest mountain, ejected ash clouds and pyroclastic flows that killed at least 46 people and left several missing, while thousands were displaced.
On Sunday, the early morning eruption resulted in dense white and grey ash clouds, according to Indonesia’s Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG).
The agency warned nearby residents not to conduct any activities within a 5km (3 mile) radius of the eruption centre and to keep a distance of 500 metres (1,500 feet) from riversides due to risks of lava flow.

PVMBG also told people not to conduct any activities within 13km (8 miles) southeast of the eruption centre.
With 142 volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest population globally living in close range to a volcano, including 8.6 million within 10km (6 miles).
