The centre urged people to avoid activities in danger zones that might be affected by Indonesiaand hot clouds.

The danger zones extended up to seven kilometres in the south-southwest sector and three kilometres to the southeast of the volcano. In the event of an explosive eruption, volcanic material could have reached up to three kilometers from the peak.
