Volcano erupts in southern Japan, sending enormous smoke section into sky

TOKYO - A fountain of liquid magma in southern Japan emitted Wednesday with an enormous section of dim smoke surging into the sky. 

The Japan Meteorological Agency raised the admonition level for Mount Aso to three on a size of five, notice climbers and occupants to keep away from the mountain. 

Boss Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said there has been no report of harms or wounds. 

NHK public TV circulated film of a monstrous smoke section over the fountain of liquid magma. 

The smoke ascended as high as 3.5 kilometers (11,480 feet) over the hole, with pyroclastic stream spilling out 1.3 kilometers (0.8 mile) down the western slant of the mountain, the office said. 

The blast passed over volcanic rocks similar to 900 meters (2,950 feet) from the pit and ashfalls were recognized in a few towns in the Kumamoto and adjoining Miyazaki prefectures. 

The admonition was given for the city of Aso and two close by towns in Kumamoto prefecture, which is in the north-focal district of the southern island of Kyushu. 

Mount Aso has more than once ejected, now and then lethally. Its 1953 ejection killed six and harmed more than 90, and another five years after the fact killed 12.
