Indonesia's Mount Sinabung spewed hot ash as high as three kilometres on Tuesday, in its latest major eruption since August last year.

Mount Sinabung’s activity has increased since August last year and the alert for the volcano in North Sumatra Province has been placed at second-highest level.

No casualties were reported as officials had earlier urged people to stay at least 3 km from the crater, Indonesia’s volcanological survey said on Twitter.
