Indonesia's Mount Merapi, one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted, releasing huge clouds of smoke and ash.
The volcano spewed hot ash up to three kilometers from its peak, leading authorities to establish a five-kilometer no-go zone.
Despite recent lava flows, the alert status remains at the second-highest level, with warnings issued about potential further lava flows.
Indonesia, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," has a history of major volcanic activity, with Merapi's 2010 eruption killing over 300 people.
