Indonesian authorities have raised the alert level to the second-highest on Java Island over fears that Semeru volcano may erupt again, the country’s Geological Agency said on Saturday.
The agency said that some activity has been detected in the active volcano which may trigger lava and flammable gases.
However, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Arifin Tasrif stated that 8 million cubic meters of sand coming out of the crater of the volcano blocked the Besuk Kobokan River on the lava path, and warned that if there is a new eruption, lava will spread further into the area.
A total of 48 people were killed after an explosion at the Semeru volcano on Dec. 4.
