Masks for residents
Ibu volcano ejected a huge column of ash
The volcano on the island of Halmahera in eastern Indonesia ejected a five-kilometer-high column of ash on Monday. No casualties or damage were initially reported. Residents must wear masks.
Authorities advised residents of the region to wear masks and goggles outdoors to protect themselves from the volcanic ash.
Ibu is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia.
The Southeast Asian country of Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands lies on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire.
Several earth plates are located there. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions therefore occur frequently there.
Ruang volcano also active
The Ruang volcano in Indonesia recently erupted. At the end of April, the 725-metre-high mountain of fire in the Sangihe archipelago north of the island of Sulawesi hurled a column of ash, smoke and rock some 2,000 meters into the sky.
Also in Indonesia, a Chinese tourist fell into the Ijen volcano in May. The 31-year-old lost her balance and fell 76 meters into the active volcano.
