ERNATE - Mount Dukono, North Halmahera, North Maluku, erupted by ejecting volcanic ash as high as 1,150 meters above the top of the mountain.
"Yes, an eruption with a column height of ash was observed as high as 1,150 meters," said PGA Dukono officer, Bambang Sugiono, in a written statement reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 16.
Mount Dubono erupted by ejecting a column of ash and was observed to be white to gray with thick intensity leaning towards the Northwest.
This eruption was recorded on a seismogram with an amplitude of 30 mm and a duration of 47.88 seconds from the Dukono PGA Post in Mamuya Village, Galela District.
"The eruption is still ongoing when the report is being made," he said.
Currently, the condition of the volcano as high as 1,087 meters above sea level is still at Level II or Alert Status.
People around Mount Dukono and visitors and tourists are advised not to do hiking activities, and to approach the Maupang Warirang Crater within a 4 kilometer radius.
"Given that the eruption with volcanic ash periodically occurs and the distribution of ash follows the direction and speed of the wind, so that the area of the ash land is not fixed," said Bambang.
