The eruption took place on May 8 and was one of the strongest in recent times. The volcano sent a column of ash about 10 kilometers high into the air. The dust cloud was visible from a great distance and affected the situation in the region.

Local authorities confirmed the deaths of three people and injuries to at least five others. Rescue operations and monitoring of volcanic activity are underway in the area of the eruption.
