VIVAnews - Indonesian active volcano Mt Merapi spewed another pyroclastic clouds for two days after some passive odd four days of not erupting any superheated ashes.

"Within these past two days on Sunday and Monday, Mt Merapi has blown another hot clouds," said Head of Geological Disaster Mitigation and Vulcanology Center, Surono, today, Nov 22.

Surono emphasized the hot ash is a signal of on-going eruption on Mt Merapi. As a result, the red alert status will not be removed in no time.

The pyroclastic clouds took place on Sunday, November 21, since 5.23 pm preceded by tectonic earthquakes. On the same day at 5.22 pm, a series of hot clouds occurred until 6.45 pm.

Today, the hot clouds were expelled into the air twice. However, the exact distance of the spewed hot clouds have yet to be measured due to thick clouds which covered the volcano.

According to Surono, the danger zone remains at 15 kilometers for Sleman, 10 kilometers for Magelang, 5 kilometers for Boyolali and 10 kilometers for Klaten.
