Jakarta, Indonesia – Anak Krakatau volcano island located in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait between the main Java and Sumatra islands erupted again and emitting ash as high as 3 kilometers.

According to the available data this is longest eruption since the 2018 explosive collapse of a part of the island that also caused a tsunami along the coast of Java and Sumatra. Since then second-highest alert on a scale of four has remained in place.
