Mount Ibu's Eruption Triggers Evacuation of Seven Indonesian Villages

Authorities raised the volcano's alert level to the highest as ash clouds and lightning filled the sky, displacing residents.

Mount Ibu erupted on Saturday, sending ash 4 km high and producing purple lightning around its crater.
Evacuations included residents from seven villages, who were moved to emergency shelters.
A joint team of police, military, and rescue officials facilitated the evacuation process.
Authorities have recommended a 7 km radius around the volcano be cleared for safety.
The eruption follows a series of volcanic activities in Indonesia, a country with 127 active volcanoes.
