Indonesia issues tsunami warning after more eruption from Mount Ruang
The heightened alert was issued late on Wednesday after the 725-meter-high volcano had two large eruptions earlier in the day, spewing a column of ash 3,000 metres into the sky.
An earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale hit five km away from the active Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre. No Tsunami alerts were issued.
The US Geological Survey said the epicentre of the quake was measured at a depth of 1.8 km west-south-west (WSW) of the volcano at 3.51 pm on Sunday.
More than 80 homes have been destroyed by the Kilauea volcano eruption in the last four weeks since lava began flowing.
