The head of Indonesia's geological agency, Sugeng Mujiyanto, said the Karangetang volcano, which includes two active craters, has been spewing hot ash as far as 2 kilometers to the southeast.

He advised residents and tourists in the area to avoid activities within a radius of 2.5-3.5 km around the craters, due to potential risks from lava flows and hot clouds.

Since May 2023, Indonesia has raised its alert level to level 3, the second highest level in its volcano alert system. This move came as the 1,784-meter-high volcano began recording increasing activity.
