The gates of hell have opened! The eruption of the Sakurajima volcano scared Japan!

On Friday, September 23, around 13:30 pm local time, the Sakurajima volcano threw large plumes of smoke and ash over the island of Kyushu in Japan. The height of the ash column reached 1800 meters. A small infrasonic wave was also observed. The volcano is located near the city of Kagoshima, with a population of about 600,000 people, and the locals experienced a sense of unease. Volcanic ash was blown southeast of the crater. A small amount of ash is expected to fall by 5:00 am on the cities of Tarumizu, Kanoya, Kinko, Osaka, Shibushi and Higashikushira. The Sakurajima volcano is currently under Volcanic Danger Level 3 entry restrictions. Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Due to its explosive potential, the volcano is considered very dangerous and is under close surveillance.
