Just as residents are fleeing from
Mount Merapi's volcanic eruptions in central Java, Indonesia, warnings have been issued for two other volcanoes while a third one has been producing small eruptions since last week.
The Jakarta Globe reports that
Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait, right between Sumatra and Java, is on a Level 2 alert (Level 1 being "normal" and Level 4 being full alert) after it began erupting Wednesday.
The two other volcanoes,
Mount Karangetang and
Mount Ibu have been issued Level 3 alerts as residents have been warned to be on standby for eruptions. Karangetang is located on Siau Island north east of Java while Ibu is on a separate island east of Karangetang.
Karangetang last erupted on Aug. 6 and four villagers are believed to have been killed by its eruption.
