  "account": "Indonesia's Mount Sinabung erupted once more on Wednesday, prompting the evacuation of over 600 residents in North Sumatra. The volcano's activity level was raised to Level III (Standby) on Monday following an earlier eruption that sent an ash column 3.5km above the summit. 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. The Consulate General of Malaysia in Medan advised Malaysians in the region to stay alert and follow Indonesian authorities' instructions.",
  "summary": "Volcanic activity intensifies as an ash column rises 1,000m above the summit, expanding the danger zone to three kilometres.",
