Hundreds of terrified villagers flee new Merapi volcanic eruption -The Telegraph
Ash fell on surrounding paddyfields and jungle and on the ancient city of Yogyakarta 12 miles away, as fears grew that the activity of the past ten days could be the prelude to a devastating eruption in the heart of Java, Indonesia's most heavily populated island.
The new eruption early on Saturday caused panic just days after 35 people died on the slopes of the volcano, some burned to death by hot clouds of ash and gas which raced with terrific speed down Merapi's steep slopes incinerating forests and settlements in their way.
