For now, no injuries have been immediately reported after the eruption in the late morning of this volcano culminating at 1,592 m. For those who are nearby, “you have to watch out for large rocks and flows of pyroclastic materials”, said Tomoaki Ozaki, an official with the Japan Meteorological Agency, at a televised press conference. “Caution is called for, even in remote areas, as the wind can carry not only ashes but also stones”, he added Tomoaki Ozaki.
