According to Sources, volcano on Kyushu, Japan’s largest southern island, erupted, blasting boulders and ash into the air. On Sunday night, a volcano on Kyushu, Japan’s largest southern island, erupted, blasting boulders and ash into the air.
Orange flames flashing close to the crater and black smoke with ash blowing high over the mountain top were seen in footage broadcast on Japan’s NHK public television.
On the major southern island of Japan, Kyushu, two villages have been evacuated after a volcano erupted and threw big rocks and ash into the night sky.
Number of people evacuated :
51 people of two towns that are directly adjacent to the volcano were told to leave their houses by Japan’s Meteorological Agency, which increased the eruption alert to the highest level of five.
According to Kagoshima City, 33 of them had already left their houses by Monday morning for a nursing home in a more secure area. Others who were required to evacuate, according to NHK, may have done so.
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihiko Isozaki stated that, “We will put the people’s lives first and do our best to assess the situation and respond to any emergency”. In order to preserve their lives, he urged the populace to closely monitor local authority updates.
Kilometres Volcano Erupted :
No damage or injuries have been reported thus far. The volcano’s crater was hidden by inclement weather on Monday morning. Japanese Meteorological Agency issued a warning that volcanic boulders could fall within 3 kilometres which is 1.8 miles of the crater and that lava, ash, and scorching gas could flow within 2 kilometres that is exactly 1.2 miles.
Residents should still be on the lookout for falling rocks, mudslides, and pyroclastic flows, according to Tsuyoshi Nakatsuji, a JMA official in charge of volcano watch. However, the likelihood of additional explosive violent eruptions was low. In addition, he encouraged people to keep their curtains closed and stay away from windows because they might break under the force of an eruption.
About 1,000 kilometres, or 600 miles, distance of Sakurajima from Tokyo. One of Japan’s most active volcanoes, Sakurajima is located on Kyushu’s main southern island and has erupted numerous times. It was once an island but after an eruption in 1914 that claimed 58 lives, it was transformed into a peninsula.
