Indonesia's Mount Ibu volcano erupted twice on Thursday, firing red bright lava and rocks, the country's volcanology agency PVMBG said. The volcano situated on the eastern island of Halmahera erupted twice on Thursday. The first eruption was at dawn, spewing incandescent lava and rocks as lightning flashes lit up its crater. The second eruption was in the morning, shooting volcanic ash as high as 1,200m. "The alert status of the volcano is still level four or the highest," the agency said, banning any activities within 7 km of the crater. Local authorities have evacuated seven villages nearby since May 16 but no new evacuation was planned after the latest eruption. Indonesia sits on the geologically active Pacific "Ring of Fire" and has 127 active volcanoes. Source: Qatar News Agency
