Jakarta: A volcano in Indonesia erupted again on Sunday, spending out ash into the sky and forcing people to evacuate the affected area.
Thousands of residents, many of whom farm the fertile land around Mount Lokon, had to be evacuated when the volcano started erupting a week ago. Sunday’s blast measured the strongest so far, media reports said.
One woman suffered a heart attack during an evacuation, and she remains the sole fatality. There have been no other reports of deaths.
Mount Lokon is one of Indonesia’s 129 active volcanoes.
