A volcano in Indonesia's East Java province erupted on Saturday, spewing ash and smoke as high as an estimated 5 kilometres into the sky, according to data from the geological agency at the country's energy ministry. Videos on social media showed the grey ash clouds towering over houses after the Semeru mountain erupted. Notably, Indonesia has nearly 130 active volcanoes.
