印尼东部哈马赫拉岛(Halmahera Island)伊布火山(Mount Ibu)今天稍早再度爆发,喷出6公里高的火山灰云。今年以来,这座火山已喷发近100次。

法新社报导,当局表示,位于印尼北摩鹿加省(North Maluku)哈马赫拉岛的伊布火山最新喷发时间是当地时间凌晨3时30分,火山灰飘散在周遭地区。

伊布火山自今年以来已喷发至少95次。印尼当局于本月稍早将其警戒级别调高至4级警戒系统的最高级,目前仍维持相同级别。

印尼地质局局长瓦菲德(Muhammad Wafid)透过声明指出,「我们观察到一股高密度火山灰柱正向西飘移。监测站可清楚听见隆隆的声响」。

瓦菲德呼吁民众勿进入火山口方圆4至7公里内的疏散区。

伊布火山数周前才发生类似规模的火山爆发,当时火山口向天空喷出5公里高的巨大火山灰柱。

伊布火山是印尼最活跃的火山之一,去年共喷发超过2万1000次。
