Indonesian volcano spits powerful burst of ash on 24th October 2013.
A volcano in western Indonesia erupted on Thursday, unleashing a column of dark volcanic material high into the air, weeks after villagers were returning home from an earlier eruption, officials said. The explosion at Mount Sinaburg located in North Sumantra Province, shot black ash 3 kilometres into the air, but there were no reports of injuries or damage, said a national mitigation agency spokesman. No lava or debris spewed from the volcano. Last month more than 15,000 people were forced to flee when the volcano rumbled to life after being dormant for three years. The volcanoes last major eruption was in August 2010, which killed two people and forced 30,000 others to flee.
