Indonesian Volcano Erupts Again
Indonesian Volcano
VOA News Indonesia’s most volatile volcano erupted again Sunday, triggering panic among thousands of people who had returned to the mountain to check on crops and livestock.
Indonesia sent in troops Saturday to forcibly evacuate villagers from the slopes of Mount Marapi, but the volcano quieted after an eruption earlier in the day and people started returning to their homes.
The Indonesian Red Cross says at least 36 people have died since the mountain began spewing ash and searing gases in a string of eruptions that began Tuesday. There was no word Sunday on further casualties.
