Nearly 6,000 people were evacuated from their villages following the eruption of Mount Sinabung in western Indonesia, an official said Monday.
The 2,600-meter (8,530-feet) volcano in North Sumatra province erupted early Sunday after being dormant for three years, sending thick ash into the sky with small rocks pelting neighbouring villages, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. He said almost 6,000 people have been evacuated and were being sheltered in seven locations. No injuries or damage was reported.
Most of the displaced were from six villages within 3 kilometres of the mountain in Karo district, Nugroho said.
