		</div><p>Indonesia’s most volatile volcano has erupted again, releasing plumes of ash high into the air and sending streams of lava and debris down its slopes.</p>
<p>No casualties were reported after an avalanche of rocks spilled down Mount Merapi’s slopes and clouds of hot ash spewed 656ft into the air as the mountain groaned and rumbled.</p>
<p>Hanik Humaida, the head of Yogyakarta’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre, said the volcano unleashed hot clouds of ash at least eight times since the morning as well as a series of pyroclastic flows – a mixture of rock, debris, lava and gasses – that had reached nearly 1.2 miles down its slopes.</p>
<p>The 9,737ft (2,968-metre) high volcano is on densely populated Java island near the ancient city of Yogyakarta.</p>
<p>It is the most active of dozens of Indonesian volcanoes and has repeatedly erupted recently.</p>
<p>Villagers living on Merapi’s slopes have been advised to stay at least three miles from its crater and to be aware of the peril of lava.</p>
<p>Merapi’s last major eruption in 2010 killed 347 people.</p>
<p>Indonesia, an archipelago of 270 million people, sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped area along the edge of the ocean that is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.</p>
