TL;DR
Mount Marapi in Indonesia erupted again, spewing smoke and ash high into the air, prompting the evacuation of at least 100 residents after the alert level was raised to the second-highest. No casualties were reported, but the volcano is known for sudden eruptions that are difficult to predict. Indonesia, prone to seismic activity, has more than 120 active volcanoes due to its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire."
