As of early Saturday evening, detecting instruments close to the crater were still operating, indicating any eruption was so far small, he said. There were no reports of injuries or damage.

Earlier, Rosadi and another scientist said the seismic monitors on the slopes detected continuous tremors indicating an eruption had begun. They abandoned their posts.

In recent weeks, thousands of people have already been evacuated from villages closest to the crater, but an unknown number are believed to be still in the danger zone having dismissed warnings of a large eruption.

In 1990, Mt. Kelud killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds. In 1919, a powerful explosion that could be heard hundreds of miles away destroyed dozens of villages and killed at least 5,160.
