Mount Sinabung volcano in Indonesia erupts, sending hot ash into sky

Indonesia's Mount Sinabung erupted on Tuesday morning, spewing a massive column of smoke and ash up to 5,000 metres into the sky. The volcano on Sumatra island started blasting debris early in the morning, according to a local geological agency, which recorded 13 bursts. Authorities have instructed residents to avoid a five-kilometre radius around the crater, a zone that has been left unoccupied for years as volcanic activity increased. No evacuation orders have been issued, and there has been no reported flight disruption.
