DRONE footage shows deserted Indonesian town covered in volcanic ash

An Indonesian residential area hit by the deadly Semeru volcano eruption turned into a ghost town covered in volcanic ash, drone footage showed on Sunday (December 5). In a barren landscape covered in ash, homes were almost completely submerged, and a truck had only the top of the driver’s cab visible. At least 14 people were killed and dozens injured in the eruption on Saturday (December 4), the disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) said. Fifty-six were injured and 1,300 have been evacuated. Heavy rain is expected for the next three days, which could complicate evacuation efforts, a meteorological agency official said late on Sunday. __________________ Powered by Shanghai Media Group, ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality content for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
