Jakarta, 15 Sha'ban,1437 AH, 22 May,2016 , SPA -- The death toll rose to six from steaming clouds and ash that gusted out of a volcano in western Indonesia, and three villagers were in critical condition, an official said Sunday, dpa reported. The number of victims could rise further from the eruption of Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra that began Saturday, National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said. "A search-and-rescue team continues to scour houses and farmlands in the area to look for more victims. It is unclear how many people were in the red zone when the hot clouds unleashed," he said. The disaster management agency has declared areas within a radius of 7 kilometers closed during the emergency. -- SPA 10:21 LOCAL TIME 07:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
