Videos posted on social media showed grey ash clouds towering over houses.The country’s disaster mitigation agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the possibility of evacuation.Other volcanoes, such as the Merapi volcano on the island of Java and Sinabung on Sumatra, have shown signs of activity recently.
