Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Aso (Japan): The largest active volcano in Japan has erupted, sending a column of smoke and ash more than 11,000 meters (nearly 7 miles) into the air, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported early Saturday. Images from the area showed a layer of volcanic ash coating streets, roofs and vehicles. No injuries have been reported. JMA raised the alert level for the area to 3, with 5 being the highest level, and warned members of the public not to approach Mount Aso and to beware of falling rocks.
