Mount Sinabung volcano in Indonesia erupted for a second time Sunday, forcing to evacuate more than 1,300 people in total within a radius of 3 kilometers.
The volcano, that unleashed volcanic ash high in the sky of North Sumatra, erupted at 4:25 pm throwing ashes as high as 7,000 kilometers, National Disaster Management Agency informed.
The first time the volcano erupted was on Oct.24 forcing to evacuate 3,300 people. Back in September, Mount Sinabung woke up rumbling after three years of being idle.
In 2010, Mount Sinabung killed two people and forced 30,000 others to leave their home.
