  "account": "Anak Krakatau, located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, returned to erupt on Wednesday after continuing volcanic activity in the region. The Indonesia Volcanology and Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) reported that the eruption began at 12:47 AM local time and lasted for 28 minutes, with the maximum seismic amplitude recorded at 51mm. The height of the eruption could not be observed. The state Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) stated that satellite Himawari-9 imagery taken at 7 AM on Wednesday showed ash from Anak Krakatau reaching up to 7,000 feet and moving to the northwest, covering part of the Lampung Sea. Many people, especially those around southern Lampung, were advised to remain vigilant, stay calm, and obtain official information from BMKG, PVMBG, geology agencies, and local authorities. The eruption on Wednesday followed three eruptions on Tuesday, following a continuous phase of eruptions lasting about 25 hours starting at 11:07 PM on Friday night, just after midnight Saturday. Anak Krakatau, located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, remained at Level III, the second highest in Indonesia's four-tiered volcanic alert system, and authorities warned of a potentially high risk of subsequent eruptions. The PVMBG reported that three more volcanoes in Indonesia also recorded eruptions on Wednesday, including Semeru in East Java which erupted twice at 12:15 AM and 5:11 AM, but the height of the eruptions could not be observed. Ili Lewotolok in Nusa Tenggara Timur also erupted three times at 5:03 AM, 5:56 AM, and 9:51 AM, spewing ash up to 400 to 600 meters high and moving to the northwest and west. Ibu in North Maluku erupted at 5:27 AM and 9:19 AM, with ash reaching 400 meters and 600 meters high and moving to the northeast and east.",
