At least 2 killed in volcano eruption in Indonesia

Search and rescue authorities earlier said that rescuers were working to evacuate about 20 hikers trapped by the eruption.

Mount Dukono erupted at around 7:40 a.m. local time on Friday, sending a column of volcanic ash up to about 10 km into the sky.

Local rescue authorities warned residents not to carry out activities within a 4-km radius of the crater and cautioned that volcanic mudflows could occur during rainfall.
