Manado: After several days of increased activity, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) has announced that North Sulawesi’s Mount Lokon erupted at 10:20 a.m. on Tuesday,
The height at which lava shot out of the volcano was unknown as clouds blocked the full view. The agency declared areas within a 2.5-kilometer radius from the mountain’s peak dangerous and urged nearby residents to stay alert.
