Indonesia’s Mount Semeru volcano erupted Wednesday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. local time, sending ash more than 6,500 feet into the air, according to data from the country’s Center for Volcanology.
The eruption was ongoing as of Wednesday evening local time.
The Center warned people to stay at least 5 miles away from the volcano due to potential hot ash clouds or lava flows.
Ejected pyroclastic rocks are possible 1.5 miles away from Mount Semeru’s peak, according to the warning.
