Live: The latest coverage of Indonesia's Marapi volcano eruption

The death toll from Indonesia's Marapi volcano eruption jumped to 22 as rescuers found more climbers who had perished near the crater, the head of the West Sumatra rescue agency said on Tuesday, up from 13 earlier in the day.

About 200 rescuers will resume search operations on Wednesday for one further missing climber. Marapi was still erupting as hundreds of rescuers scaled slippery terrain in search of the missing. The 2,891-meter high volcano in West Sumatra erupted on Sunday, spewing gray clouds of ash as high as 3 kilometers into the sky. CGTN correspondent Roberlin Purba will bring more from the frontline.
