Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano unleashed dual eruptions on Friday, confirmed by the country's volcanology agency.
The volcano erupted in Indonesia's Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra islands and has erupted more than 10 times since March this year.
The nearest settlement to the volcano is 16.5 km (10.25 miles) away.
Authorities have issued the second-highest alert level, Oktory Prambada, an official at the volcanology and geological agency told Reuters.
As of Friday, four Indonesian volcanoes were at the second-highest alert level, including Anak Krakatau, Merapi in Central Java, Semeru in East Java, and Karangetang in North Sulawesi.
Volcanoes are popular in Indonesia. A December 2018 eruption of Anak Krakatau triggered an underwater landslide that set off a tsunami in Banten, West Java province and Lampung province that killed at least 430 people.
