An active volcano in western Indonesia has let out a series of fresh eruptions¹, forcing around 19,000 people to flee their homes, officials say.

印度尼西亚西部一座活火山出现一系列喷发迹象，迫使附近大约19000人离开家园。

A danger zone is being enforced around Mount Sinabung

Mt Sinabung, on the island of Sumatra, erupted nine times late on Monday, shooting lava² and gas up to 7,000m in the air, officials said.

A 5km danger zone is being enforced around the volcano's crater³.

It has been showing signs of life since September, after being dormant⁴（休眠的） for three years.

"On Monday night, 19,126 people fled their homes, and we expect that number to rise," National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.

"Mount Sinabung remains⁵ on the highest alert level," he said, adding that police and soldiers were patrolling the danger zone to evacuate⁶ people.

When the volcano erupted in 2010, at least two people were killed and 30,000 others were displaced.

Before 2010, Mount Sinabung had not erupted in 400 years. It is one of around 130 active volcanoes in the country.
