According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the crater at the top of Mount Nanyue, Sakura Island, located in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu Prefecture, Japan, erupted on the afternoon of the 9th, and the volcanic smoke rose from the crater to about 2000 meters in the air. With the eruption of the volcano, a large number of volcanic rubble flew to the place 600 to 900 meters away from the crater. Since the 8th, the volcano in Sakura Island has been active. The first small-scale eruption of the Zhaohe crater, which is not far from the top of Nanyue Mountain, began on the morning of the 8th, after five years. The crater erupted three times from the 8th to the 9th, and the smoke erupted in the morning of the 9th reached 1500 meters. At present, the Japan Meteorological Agency has classified Sakura Island's volcano warning level as Level 3, that is, restricting people from entering the mountain. According to the Fukuoka Meteorological Station of the Japan Meteorological Agency on the 9th, the Yuyue crater of Suwa Island, located in Shijima Village, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu Prefecture, erupted three times on the 8th, and the height of smoke and dust in one eruption was 1000 meters. The Fukuoka Meteorological Station also released a message on the 9th that Mount Asu in Kumamoto County, Kyushu Prefecture, had a large volcanic micro-motion since the morning of the 8th. The person in charge of the meteorological station said that the possibility of volcanic eruption would increase if the amplitude of the volcanic micro-motion indicating the underground hot water and magmatic activity repeatedly appeared. There are five warning levels for volcanic eruptions in Japan, with level 5 being the highest. (Xinhua News Agency)
