A volcanic eruption in Eastern Indonesia killed about six people in Eastern Indonesia. The eruption was reported by Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, as people were banned from the surrounding area due to concerns of increasing volcanic activity. The Mt. Rokatenda volcano erupted at 4:27 am Local Time, and spewed hot ash over 2000 m. above the crater.
The volcano, located on the island of 'Palue', a popular tourist spot in the East Nusa Tenggara province erupted, and killed six people at the Punge beach beside. The eruption which lasted about four hours, caused streaks of hot lava flow, which caused the deaths.
The Indonesian archipelago, which nestled in the Ring of Fire, is full of active volcanoes, the most commonly known being Mt. Merapi in the Java islands, which killed around 350 people in one of the most horrifying series of eruptions.
