A volcano on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia has erupted, with reports of smoke and ash billowing out into the open. On Sunday morning, the volcano was seen firing clouds of ash into the air which reached over 1000 metres, and projected hot ash clouds that began looming near the southeast province of Indonesia. Local villagers have been told to remain five kilometres away from the bottom of the crater, and need to be conscious of potential lava risks. There have been no reported casualties in the eruption.
