Indonesia Volcano Eruption Kills 3 Hikers, Several Missing
Mount Dukono, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, erupted on May 8, killing at least three hikers and leaving several others missing. The volcano, located in North Maluku province, has been nearly continuously active since 1933.
The eruption sent an ash column several kilometers high. Rescue teams face challenges due to ongoing ash fall and toxic gas. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and has over 120 active volcanoes.
