LAST UPDATE: 16:40
Indonesia’s Semero volcano erupted in eastern Java today, spewing clouds of smoke and ash, causing locals to rush to nearby areas, including Lumajang.
According to the latest Reuters information, the eruption of the volcano caused the death of at least one person and burns to 41 others, said the deputy governor of Lumajang region.
A video released by the BNPB shows locals running as the smoke and ash rising cover villages in East Java province.
Volcanic ash and hot air masses were recorded in the area around 3pm local time, said Abdul Mouhari, a BNPB official.
Torikul Haq, head of Lumajang district near Semeru, told Reuters that the road and bridge connecting Lumajang to the neighboring city of Malang had been damaged.
“It is a very stressful, rapidly evolving situation since the volcano erupted,” he said, adding that evacuations were under way. Semeru is among the 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia.
