Indonesian Volcano Mount Sinabung Erupts, Killing 15 [VIDEO]

 Latest  update says that killed at least 15 people

Mount Sinabung on Indonesia’s western island of Sumatra has erupted, sending red-hot rocks and ash 2,000 metres in the air, killing 15 people and injuring three others.

Among the dead were four pupils on a school sightseeing trip to the volcano, said a spokesman.

The 15 victims were found dead in Sukameriah village, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the National Disaster Management Agency.

Several eruptions of Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province on Saturday sent lava and pyroclastic flows down the southern slopes up to 4.5 kilometres away.

Nugroho says the volcano is still sending deadly clouds of gas and lava up to 2,000 metres into the sky. It’s feared that the number of dead could rise as rescue efforts become hampered by darkness.
