Mount Ibu, one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, erupted once more on Tuesday morning, June 4, local time. This marks the volcano's 96th eruption this year. The eruption lasted approximately two and a half minutes, spewing lava and sending black smoke billowing up to five kilometers from the crater.
Authorities have issued a warning extending seven kilometers around the volcano, urging residents of seven nearby villages to evacuate immediately. The region is known for its high volcanic activity due to its position on multiple seismic fault lines encircling the Pacific Ocean in a pattern often referred to as the "Ring of Fire."
Local media, including Arab News, reported that the eruption has led to significant concern among the residents, who have been asked to move quickly to safer areas. The frequent volcanic activity in the area poses ongoing challenges for local communities and highlights the importance of preparedness and rapid response to natural disasters.
