Anak Krakatau Volcano erupts, spewing ash 3,000 meters high – cloudy across the sky.
Volcano “Anak Krakatau” – The Straits Times reported on April 25 that Anak Krakatau Volcano of Indonesia Dense ash and smoke erupted more than 3,000 meters into the sky, covering the strait separating the islands of Java and Sumatra.
The Indonesian Geological Survey said at least 21 eruptions have occurred in Anak Krakatau in recent weeks, but Sunday’s movement was the largest.
At the same time, local authorities have banned people from approaching the volcano within a radius of two kilometers and raised the volcano alert level to 2 from a total of four.
In December 2018, Anak Krakatau volcano erupted and caused a tsunami to hit the coasts of Banteng and Lumpung provinces so quickly that authorities failed to warn. promptly This left 426 dead, 25 missing and 14,059 injured.
The sun sets as Anak Krakatoa spews thick smoke on April 24, 2022. “We are still recording continuous eruptions with thick clouds towering at between 500 to 3,000 metres from the peak,” Deny Mardiono of Indonesia’s Geological Agency told. AFP
