According to Indonesia's Centre
for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, the eruption, the most
violent since August this year, occurred at 15:36 local time, and lasted for
eight minutes.
The eruption sent hot clouds and ash into the sky as far as 4.6 kilometres.
Volcanic ash also fell on several villages around the volcano.
However, there were no casualties from the eruption, according to the country's
disaster management agency.
Residents were advised to stay away from the danger zone around the volcano and
magma flows amid recent rainy weather. Villages within seven-kilometre red zone
have been evacuated.
Mount Sinabung also erupted in September 2013.
All activities within the three-kilometre area around the volcano have been
banned since Indonesian authorities imposed the highest alert on the volcano in
2015.
