More details: In a stunning turn of events, Mount Fuji, Japan’s iconic stratovolcano, has erupted, unleashing a series of powerful explosions that have left the nation in awe and raised concerns over the potential impact on surrounding areas. The eruption began in the early hours of the morning, catching many by surprise as Japan hasn’t experienced a volcanic event of this magnitude in recent memory. Eyewitnesses reported hearing thunderous explosions and witnessing plumes of ash and smoke billowing from the summit. Local authorities immediately sprang into action, evacuating nearby communities and deploying emergency response teams to assess the situation. The eruption has prompted the closure of airspace around Mount Fuji, affecting both domestic and international flights. A volcano on an island in southwestern Japan erupted early Sunday morning, the Meteorological Agency said, and the agency urged climbers and others to take measures to protect their lives. The eruption occurred at 00:22 on Mount Otake on Suwanose Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, the agency said. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Following the eruption, the meteorological agency raised the volcanic hazard level by one notch to three, meaning people should not go near the crater. The agency warned that large rocks could be thrown into the air within about 2 kilometers of the crater. The government has set up a liaison office at the Prime Minister’s Office to gather information.
