Mount Semeru in Indonesia erupted violently, sending towering ash clouds down its slopes and blanketing villages. Authorities raised the alert to the highest level, prompting evacuations and a red aviation warning for Australian travelers due to potential flight disruptions.

Several hundred people have been evacuated after a large volcano eruption in Indonesia that also prompted an aviation warning in Australia.

An article Tuesday posted by The Daily Mail titled ‘America’s deadliest volcano enters unprecedented 72-hour tremor phase as eruption threat looms over millions’ has garnered attention online, but it is not entirely accurate.

Nearly 900 people were relocated to shelters in schools, mosques and village halls following the eruption, according to disaster agency official.

Australian travellers have been warned to expect flight delays after a volcano has erupted on Indonesia's main island of Java.

Currently, scientists struggle to forecast volcano eruption events, as no universally reliable, real-time eruption forecasting framework is available. Instead, researchers often rely on retrospective analysis to evaluate eruptions.
