This Sunday there were two strong volcanic eruptions in the world.
The Stromboli volcano in southern Italy began erupting the day before.
After a 4.6 offshore earthquake, ash and lava erupted from the volcano into the sea.
All this was accompanied by intense explosive activity.
Reportedly, the flow quickly descended and reached the sea, causing a local tsunami 1.5 meters high.
The authorities of the island alerted the population with alarm sirens.
However, no damage was subsequently recorded.
Schools in Stromboli will remain closed today, and the possibility of temporarily suspending excursions to the crater is also being considered.
Exactly one year after the last eruption, the Semeru volcano on the main Indonesian island of Java erupted again.
According to experts, monsoon rains destroyed the lava dome at the top of the mountain, which led to the eruption.
Since early Sunday morning, the volcano has repeatedly erupted hot ash to a height of about 1500 meters.
Scalding gas and lava flowed down the slopes to the nearest river.
Several villages were covered in falling ash, blocking out the sun.
Authorities have issued a level 4 warning.
The inhabitants of the nearest villages fled, taking everything they could.
11 shelters were opened, where about 2,000 people were evacuated.
Authorities also distributed masks to residents to protect them from ash-polluted air.
There have been no reports of casualties yet.
Indonesian authorities have established a complete exclusion zone of 5 km around the crater.
A partial exclusion zone of 13 km was also established on the southeastern slope.
Semeru, the highest volcano in Java and one of the most active in the world.
Located on the southern tip of the volcanic massif, extending north to the Tengger caldera.
