«Breaking News» Volcano erupts on Indonesian island where earthquake and tsunami has claimed more than 1,300 lives

A volcano has erupted on the same Indonesian island where an earthquake and tsunami claimed more than 1,300 lives last week.

Mount Soputan, located in North Sulawesi, erupted just before 9am on Wednesday local time with ash spewing up to 4,000metres into the air.

'The ash column with strong pressure was observed to be gray to brown with thick intensity inclined towards west & northwest,' national disaster management agency BNPB Indonesia tweeted.

The BNPD says the current alert for Mount Soputan is a level three 'standby', which means anyone living within a 4km radius should remain indoors.  

The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM) also advised residents to refrain from entering the area around Mount Soputan.

Volcanic ash is drifting to the west and northwest.

Anyone living within a 4km radius should remain indoors 

'This means that the volcanic ash will not disrupt flights. Sam Ratulangi International Airport in Manado is still operating normally, as it is located southeast of the mountain,' CVGHM said in a statement.

'We also suggest residents to use dust masks to avoid any potential respiratory problems in the event of falling ash.'

The North Sulawesi Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) has distributed masks to residents of the affected areas, The Jakarta Post reported.

The eruption comes just five days after a massive earthquake struck the island, triggering a tsunami and killing at least 1,300 people, while thousands more have been left homeless.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
