The eruption of the 1,584-meter peak sent an ash plume 18,000 meters into the air, according to Indonesian authorities, who have banned people from approaching within 6 kilometers of the crater.

In November 2024, nine people were killed following another large-scale eruption.

Japan’s weather agency similarly assessed the possibility of tsunami impact when the volcano erupted last month.
