Villagers watch from Sidorejo village in Klaten as Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano releases smoke and ash into the air, November 2, 2010.

Mount Merapi erupted on Monday for the third time in a week, driving the number of refugees to almost 70,000, officials said.

The fresh eruption forced a thick ash cloud around 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) into the air above Merapi, which sits on the outskirts of Yogyakarta city in Central Java, and caused panicked residents to flee villages on the slopes of the mountain for safety shelters.
