The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) confirmed on Thursday that the residents include 63 families, comprising 46 children, 11 toddlers, 21 elderly individuals, and 42 adults from six villages in the Ibu sub-district.
“Mount Ibu erupted again today at 3.45 pm, with an ash column reaching about 1,500 metres above the peak. The ash plume, thick and grey, drifted westward,” he stated in a statement.
The Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) has expanded the disaster-prone area around Mount Ibu, extending the danger zone to five kilometres and up to six kilometres in the northern part of the volcano.
BNPB has urged the public to remain calm, avoid spreading misinformation about the eruption, and follow instructions from local disaster management authorities in North Maluku and West Halmahera.
