Indonesia’s Marapi volcano erupts again, a month after deadly incident

The volcano in West Sumatra province erupted at least twice by 0337 GMT on Sunday, the agency said, urging the evacuation of people within 4.5 km (2.8 miles) of the centre of the eruption, with the possibility of lava flows in rivers and valleys. "In case there's a rain of ash, we urge residents to also use masks in order to prevent respiratory illness," the agency said. In December more than 20 people were killed after Marapi, one of Sumatra's most active volcanoes, erupted and spewed grey clouds of ash as high as 3 km (2 miles).
