Mount Dukono in North Maluku erupted on Friday morning, sending a 10-km ash column and prompting a rescue operation for about 20 hikers. Three people—two foreigners and a local resident—died, fifteen were injured and hospitalized, and all surviving hikers were evacuated as authorities investigate possible negligence by operators who allowed hiking despite safety closures and warnings to stay outside the crater’s 4km radius.
Three hikers—two Singaporeans and a local—were killed when Mount Dukono erupted in a restricted area on Halmahera Island; 15 climbers have descended, with others still missing as search-and-rescue operations continue. The eruption sent a six-mile-high ash cloud, but no towns were threatened, and the guide and porter may face charges for guiding people into the prohibited zone.
