Indonesia's Mount Semeru volcano erupted, sending ash clouds two kilometers into the sky and blanketing nearby villages in thick ash and pyroclastic mud. The eruption prompted authorities to raise the alert level to the highest tier and evacuate residents within 2.5 kilometers. Video from the affected area shows homes and roads completely covered in volcanic material as emergency crews assess the damage.
