A volcano erupted in Indonesia. The name is Dukono. This happened on Friday morning. 3 people died. 2 victims are from Singapore. 1 victim is a woman from Indonesia. 20 people were on the mountain. They stood at the crater-edge. The volcano sent up a cloud of ash. The cloud was 10 kilometers high.
The hikers did not follow the rules. It is forbidden to climb there since April. The volcano was very active before. Helpers found 17 people alive. Some hikers have injuries. They are now in the hospital. The dead people are still at the top. The recovery is too dangerous right now.
The volcano sends out stones and ash. Strong rain makes the rescue hard. Indonesia has almost 130 active volcanoes. The land is at the Pacific fire-ring. Earth plates meet there. This causes many earthquakes. Volcanoes often erupt there.
