Jakarta: A volcano in eastern Indonesia erupted twice on Friday, sending a hot cloud of ash as high as seven kilometres (4.3 miles) into the sky.
The country's Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation shared an image of the thick column of grey ash towering among white clouds around Mount Ibu, located on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province.
No damage or casualties were immediately reported from the two eruptions, which took place within the span of an hour. The first occurred at 10:45 am (0145 GMT).
"The eruption is still ongoing at the time of this report," the volcanology centre said in a statement.
Locals were urged not to go within five kilometres of Ibu's crater, the statement added.
