The eruption at Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki spewed ash 2,000 meters into the air, burning houses and a convent, amidst reports of casualties and missing persons.
Authorities have raised the danger level and increased the exclusion zone to a 7-kilometer radius after eruptions became more frequent, affecting over 10,000 residents.
The National Disaster Management Agency reported a lowered death toll of six, while local media suggests more casualties as information is still being gathered.
In total, the volcanic activity has impacted multiple villages across three districts, blanketing areas in volcanic debris and compelling evacuations.
