As rescue and recovery operations unfold on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, where a massive earthquake and ensuing tsunami has killed at least 1,400 people and altered the landscape, a volcano is now erupting. Mount Soputan, on the northern end of the island, shot ash nearly four miles into the air early today (Oct. 3), NBC News reports.
Pictures show the ash column rising above the volcano, which is almost 400 miles to the north of Palu, the site of some of the worst of last week’s devastation.
At the moment, the eruption hasn’t triggered any evacuations, nor have there been any reported injuries.
