Indonesia issues highest alert as volcano erupts
The Sinabung volcano in Indonesia has erupted, prompting authorities to issue the highest possible alert for a potential emergency. The eruption, which shot ash and debris into the atmosphere, is potentially dangerous for residents in the nearby towns of Sigi and Talangowang, who have been urged to evacuate to safer areas. This is the highest alert issued since the volcano erupted last year. Officials have advised residents to stay calm and follow evacuation instructions from local authorities.
