The ash of the erupted Mount Soputan headed westward and northwestward of the crater, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho spokesman of the National Disaster Management Agency.
As per the agency, over 1,234 people have been killed so far in the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck the island on September 28.
