The Semeru volcano in Indonesia's East Java province erupted four times, spewing ash up to 800 meters above its summit, according to the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG).
"The initial eruption occurred at 5.55am local time, with an ash column reaching 800 metres to the north, followed by a second eruption at 6.30am, with a 700-metre ash column heading northeast for 120 seconds," said Yadi Yuliandi, an officer at the Semeru Volcano Observation Post.
The third explosion at 8.41am lasted 113 seconds, while the fourth, at 12.08pm, lasted 135 seconds and sent ash up to 800 metres high.
The 3,676-meter-high volcano, located on the border of Lumajang and Malang regencies, is now at the second level of danger.
The PVMBG has advised residents to avoid all activities within a 3-kilometer radius of the volcano's summit, as well as to avoid river flows originating from the summit of Semeru.
