Mount Sinabung, located in Indonesia’s Karo regency, sits on the most active earthquake belt in the world – the Pacific Ring of Fire. No one is believed to have been killed or injured by last night’s eruption. Locals were told to stay at least 4.3 miles (7km) away from the Sinabung earlier this year amid fears of a deadly eruption. Sinabung roared back to life in 2010 for the first time in 400 years. After another
period of inactivity, it erupted once more in 2013, and has remained highly active since. The mountain is about 1,865 miles (3,001km) about away from Bali’s largest volcano, Mount Agung.

The volcano alert was raised to its maximum level on September 22 as the earthquakes increased in intensity. READ MORE
