(CNN) — A rescue operation is underway to locate 20 missing hikers after a deadly volcanic eruption in Indonesia, local officials said Friday.
Three Singaporean nationals were killed when Mount Dukono, on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province, erupted Friday morning, Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency (BASARNAS) said.
Photos show a huge column of smoke and ash rising into the air. Rescue teams can also be seen on the mountain and carrying at least one injured person on a stretcher through the forest, in photos from Indonesia’s rescue agency.
Indonesia has around 120 active volcanoes and sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
