11 hikers dead following Indonesia’s Mount Merapi’s eruption

Report says 49 people safely evacuated but 12 still missing

JAKARTA – At least 11 hikers were killed and 12 others missing after Mount Merapi in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province erupted yesterday, triggering volcanic ash rain in several areas, reported German news agency.  

At least 49 people have been safely evacuated after the eruption, while attempts are being made to move several others to safety, said Abdul Malik, the head of the National Search and Rescue Agency in the provincial capital, Padang. 

“11 people were found dead,” he said. 

The National Disaster Management Agency said the 2,981m volcano erupted for almost five minutes yesterday after months of increased activity. 

Authorities have imposed a 3km exclusion zone from the crater following the eruption. 

Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes on Sumatra, an island in the western part of the Indonesian archipelago. 

Before Sunday, its last eruption was in 2018, when it spewed ash and lava up to five kilometres into the atmosphere. 

The volcano is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a belt of seismic activity that runs around the Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has more than 120 active volcanoes, making it prone to volcanic disasters. – December 4, 2023
