VOLCANO - JAKARTA. Indonesian authorities evacuated over 1,000 people, including over 170 hikers, on Thursday after the eruption of its Semeru volcano, one of the country's tallest peaks.

The alert level was maintained at its highest after Semeru on Java island erupted 10 times on Wednesday, emitting massive plumes of ash and sending lava and rocks as far as 13 km (8.08 miles) down its slopes, officials said.
