Jakarta, Sha'ban 16, 1436, Jun 3, 2015, SPA -- Residents living near the Mount Sinabung volcano on Indonesia's Sumatra island were told to evacuate Wednesday following a sharp increase in volcanic activity, according to dpa. Mount Sinabung has erupted intermittently since late 2013. Sixteen people were killed and tens of thousands were temporarily displaced during an intense period of eruptions early last year. The alert for Sinabung has been raised to the highest level, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for the National Disaster Management Agency. --SPA 11:42 LOCAL TIME 08:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
