STORYLINE:
Mount Ibu, a volcano in Indonesia's North Maluku province, erupted on Monday, spewing thick grey ash and dark clouds 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) into the sky, officials said.
After an eruption on Friday, the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation raised the alert level for the volcano from 2 to 3, the second-highest level, which widens the radius of the area which should be vacated.
More than 13,000 people live within a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius of the northern side of the crater, according to Hendra Gunawan the chief of the centre.
Local authorities have prepared evacuation tents, but no evacuation order has been reported yet.
Officials advised residents and tourists not to conduct any activities within 5 kilometers (3 miles) of Mount Ibu's crater.
The 1,325-meter (4,347-foot) volcano is on the northwest coast of the remote island of Halmahera.
Indonesia, an archipelago of 270 million people, has 120 active volcanoes.
It is prone to volcanic activity because it sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
