Volcano erupts in Indonesia, 3 climbers killed, 2 missing

At least three climbers, one from Singapore and one from Indonesia, have died after the Mount Dukono volcano erupted on the Indonesian island of Halmahera.

Twenty climbers were on the slopes when the tragic event occurred, Erlichson Pasaribu police chief told reporters at a volcano monitoring station in the village of Mamuya.

The area had been closed to visitors since April 17 after scientists noticed an increase in volcanic activity. Authorities have told residents and tourists to stay 4km from the Malupang Warirang crater, which is the centre of volcanic activity.

Mount Dukono is an extremely active volcano and has erupted nearly 200 times since March./CNA
