Bali’s Mount Agung erupted again at 12:12pm today, sending a moderate plume of ash as high as 1,000 meters above the volcano’s peak, Indonesia’s Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) said shortly after the eruption.
In a statement, PVMBG maintained that the volcano remains at level alert level three, or “standby” status and reiterated the need to maintain an exclusion zone of 4km in radius from the volcano’s crater. The center also cautioned that the estimated danger zone could change at any time.
“The estimated danger zone is dynamic … so it could change at any time following the latest developments based on observations of Mount Agung,” PVMBG said in the statement.
