Indonesia's Sinabung and Merapi volcanoes erupt
None
Two volcanoes erupted Monday in Indonesia, prompting warnings for flights and evacuation preparations, official said.
Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province unleashed volcanic ash as high as 8,000 meters (26,250 feet), the highest of its eruptions in recent days, said government volcano expert Surono. The 2,600-meter (8,530-foot) -high mountain has sporadically erupted since September after being dormant for three years. Hours earlier, Mount Merapi, Indonesia most volatile volcano in Central Java, spewed volcanic ash about 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) into the sky, causing ash to fall in several towns. (AP)
