    The activity marked at least the eighth time that the rumbling volcano on Sumatra island has erupted in less than a week, although there were no injures or major damage reported. Authorities issued a warning to planes flying near the volcano which last saw a deadly eruption in 2016. | Above: A man cleans a car covered with ash following an eruption by Mount Sinabung.

    Jati said authorities had marked a five-kilometre no-go-zone around Sinabung and warned of possible lava flows. "Locals are advised to wear face masks if they leave their homes to guard against the health effects of volcanic ash on health," he added. | Above: A villager cleans volcanic ash from his roof at Naman Teran village in Karo, North Sumatra, on August 11, 2020 a day after the eruption of Mount Sinabung.

    Sinabung roared back to life in 2010 for the first time in 400 years. After another period of inactivity it erupted once more in 2013, and has remained highly active since. In 2016, seven people died in one of Sinabung's eruptions, while a 2014 eruption killed 16. Image Credit: Reuters

    In late 2018, a volcano in the strait between Java and Sumatra islands erupted, causing an underwater landslide and tsunami that killed more than 400 people. | Above: A man records footage of the eruption of Mount Sinabung as seen from Karo, North Sumatra on August 13, 2020. Image Credit: AFP

    Indonesia is home to about 130 active volcanoes due to its position on the "Ring of Fire", a belt of tectonic plate boundaries encircling the Pacific Ocean where frequent seismic activity occurs. | Above: Farmers clean the volcanic ash on vegetables after the eruption of Mount Sinabung volcano in Karo, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia August 11 , 2020.
