Hot clouds of ash floated over Java Central; rising over 2.5 kilometer’s afterwards it moved to the south towards Kali Gendol, Kali Kuning, Kali Krasak and Kali Bedok according the Indonesian Agency for Volcanoes and Geological Disaster Mitigation.

The lava and ashes of Mount Merapi has claimed 44 lives, leaving dozens of injured since his activity began on October 26. Over 75 thousand civilians have been evacuated from the premises, informed the Indonesian National Council of Administration of Disasters; Sutopo Purwo Nugroho did the report.
