caused by monsoon rains
Several hundred people were moved to safer areas, mostly women, children and the elderly. Abdul Mahari, a spokesman for Indonesia’s crisis management agency, said temporary accommodation was being prepared for those evacuees.
He says monsoon rains have caused the lava dome at the top of the 3,676-meter-high volcano to collapse. This triggered an outbreak.
Earlier, AFP reported that Indonesia had updated the volcano’s danger warning to the highest level.
