00:00 On Sunday, January 14, Indonesia's Marapi volcano rode back to life sending ash soaring
00:11 1,300 meters, in other words, 4,300 feet from the peak.
00:17 This eruption comes six weeks after a fatal one as reported by the country's geological
00:21 agency.
00:23 The volcano, located in West Sumatra province, erupted at least twice by 0337 GMT on Sunday.
00:30 Urgent warnings from the agency prompt the evacuation of individuals within 4.5 km, i.e.
00:37 2.8 miles, of the eruption center, cautioning of potential lava flows in rivers and valleys.
00:43 "In case there's a rain of ash, we urge residents to use masks to prevent respiratory illness,"
00:49 the agency added.
00:51 Last December witnessed a tragic event as Marapi, one of Sumatra's most active volcanoes,
00:56 erupted claiming the lives of over 20 individuals and unleashing grey clouds of ash reaching
01:02 as high as 3 km, i.e. 2 miles.
01:06 Indonesia situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region marked by intense seismic
01:10 activity due to multiple tectonic plates, faces the recurring threat of volcanic eruptions.
01:16 The aftermath of Sunday's eruption revealed volcanic ash blanketing nearby residences,
01:22 vehicles and evacuation tents as captured by the footage.
01:27 As a precautionary measure, several residents sought respiratory check-ups at health facilities
01:32 while authorities swiftly distributed masks to mitigate the potential health impacts of
01:37 the volcanic ash fallout.
