On Sunday 15 September 2013, the volcano erupted at around 3 a.m local time.

The volcano erupted again on November 5, 2013, for the third time in as many months on the western Indonesian island of Sumatra, forcing hundreds of villagers to evacuate, officials said.
This volcano spewed a 7-km (4.3-mile) column of ash into the air, prompting authorities to impose a 3-km evacuation radius.
