Sarjan Roboke, an officer of the PGA for Dukono Volcano, said in a press statement that the erupted ash column was white to gray with a thick intensity and tended to move west to northwest.
A series of earthquake tremors was recorded from the volcano, which stands at 1,335 meters above sea level, with a maximum amplitude of 27 and lasting for 4 minutes and 53 seconds.
The current status of the volcano is Level II/Alert.
Roboke called on local residents to avoid a 3-kilometer radius from the peak of the volcano and to wear masks outdoors to protect their respiratory systems from volcanic ash.
