Indonesia's Mount Sinabung erupted once more on Wednesday, prompting the evacuation of over 600 residents in North Sumatra.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency expanded the danger zone, prohibiting activities within a three-kilometre radius of the summit and a six-kilometre sector to the southeast.
