JAKARTA, Indonesia (AFP) — A volcano erupted several times in Indonesia’s outermost region overnight Wednesday, spewing lava and a column of smoke more than a mile into the sky.

Mount Ruang, a stratovolcano in North Sulawesi Province, first erupted at 9:45 p.m. on Tuesday, pushing an ash column two kilometers into the sky, the country’s volcanology and geological agencies said.

Ruang erupted again twice in the early hours of Wednesday, pushing the smoke higher to 2.5 kilometers.

There were no reports of any deaths or injuries but more than 800 people were evacuated from two villages on Ruang island to the nearby island of Tagulandang, state news agency Antara reported.

Authorities had also imposed a four-kilometer exclusion zone around the crater, which is more than 100 kilometers north of provincial capital Manado.
