        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Mount Dempo in Pagar Alam, South Sumatra,\nunderwent an eruption with the ash column observed reaching 3,500 metres\n(3.5 km) above the summit, as reported by the Geological Agency of the\nMinistry of Energy and Mineral Resources on Wednesday afternoon. Acting\nHead of the Geological Agency, Lana Saria, stated in a release received\nin Jakarta on Wednesday that the eruption produced an ash column height\nof 3,500 metres above the summit or approximately 6,673 metres above sea\nlevel. Although the eruption featured a fairly high ash column, the\nGeological Agency noted that there have been no reports of accompanying\nrumbling sounds from the volcanic activity so far. Currently, Mount\nDempo\u2019s activity level remains at Status Level II (Alert). The\nGeological Agency continues to monitor fluctuations in the volcano\u2019s\nactivity to provide the latest information to local authorities and the\npublic. In connection with this increased activity, the government has\nissued recommendations for the public, visitors, and tourists not to\napproach or engage in overnight stays or camping at the centre of the\nMarapi - Mount Dempo crater activity. This prohibition on activities is\nset within a one-kilometre radius of the crater centre, with an\nextension to two kilometres in the direction of the northern crater\nopening. These restrictions are in place because the crater is the\ncentre of the eruption and a source of dangerous volcanic gases. The\npublic is advised to remain calm but vigilant against potential threats\nfrom volcanic gases that could endanger lives and to always follow\ninstructions from local authorities.<\/p>",
