  "account": "Anak Krakatau, located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, resumed its eruptions on Wednesday, continuing a series of smaller explosions that occurred recently. The Indonesia's Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center (PVMBG) reported the eruption lasting for 28 minutes at 12:47 AM local time, with maximum seismic amplitude of 51mm. The height of the eruption could not be observed. The Meteorology, Climate, and Geophysics Agency of Indonesia (BMKG) stated that Himawari-9 satellite imagery on Wednesday morning showed ash from Anak Krakatau reaching up to 7,000 feet and moving towards the northwest, covering part of Lampung Bay. The public was advised to remain vigilant, not panic, and obtain official information from BMKG, PVMBG, geological agencies, and local authorities. This eruption followed three smaller ones on Tuesday, after a series of similar eruptions lasting approximately 25 hours starting at 11:07 PM on Friday night, just before midnight Saturday. Anak Krakatau remains at Level III, the second highest in Indonesia's four-level volcanic alert system, and authorities warn of a still high potential for follow-up eruptions. The agency reported three more Indonesian volcanoes also recorded eruptions on Wednesday: Semeru in East Java erupted at 12:15 AM and again at 5:11 AM, but the height of the eruptions could not be observed. Ili Lewotolok in Nusa Tenggara Timur erupted three times at 5:03 AM, 5:56 AM, and 9:51 AM, spewing ash up to 400-600m high and moving northwest and west. Ibu in North Maluku erupted at 5:27 AM and 9:19 AM, with ash reaching 400m and 600m high, moving east and southeast.",
