Indonesia\u2019s Semeru volcano on Java island erupted early on Sunday spewing a two km (1.24 miles) high ash column, prompting authorities to warn people to stay away from the eruption range.<\/P>
<\/P>
Earlier this month, the eruption of Semeru, Java\u2019s tallest mountain, ejected ash clouds and pyroclastic flows that killed at least 46 people and left several missing, while thousands were displaced.<\/P>
<\/P>
On Sunday, the early morning eruption resulted in dense white and grey ash clouds, according to Indonesia\u2019s Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG).<\/P>
<\/P>
The agency warned nearby residents not to conduct any activities within a five km (three miles) radius of the eruption center and to keep a 500 meter (1,500 feet) distance from riversides due to risks of lava flow.<\/P>
<\/P>
PVMBG also told people to not conduct any activities within 13 km (eight miles) southeast of the eruption center.<\/P>
<\/P>
With 142 volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest population globally living in close range to a volcano, including 8.6 million within 10km (six miles).<\/P>
