Mount Sinabung spews ashes up to 5,000 meters high in Karo regency, North Sumatra, Monday (10/8/2020) at 10:16 a.m.

KABANJAHE, KOMPAS -- Mount Sinabung in Karo regency, North Sumatra, erupted again with an ash column of 5,000 meters high on Monday (10/8/2020). A number of villages around Sinabung were completely covered by thick ash. Locals have been asked to be on alert for seismic activity.

"The volcanic ash resulting from the eruption of Mount Sinabung has reached a number of sub-districts around it. People are now taking shelter inside their homes so they are not exposed to the ash,” said Karo Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) acting head Natanael Peranginangin.
