Mount Agung in Bali erupted again on Saturday, spewing volcanic ash up to a height of 2,500 meters.
An official from the Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG), Devy Syahbana, noted here that the eruption took place at 11:57 am Central Indonesia Time (3:57 am GMT).
The PVMBG noted that based on the monitoring reports made once in six hours from 6 a.m. to noon, the volcano, considered to be sacred by the local Hindus, was still showing signs of volcanic activity.
The mountain was recorded to have erupted once, with an amplitude of 26 millimeters, for 120 seconds, emitting a gust thrice, causing low-intensity tremors four times, and shallow volcanic tremors thrice.
Due to the unceasing activity of the volcano, the PVMBG has banned people from entering an eight- to 10-kilometer radius from the crater's peak, beyond which activities can be carried out safely and normally
