Sakurajima’s eruption on Friday was the most powerful one at the volcano since last month when the volcano spewed large columns of ash with rivers of lava flowing in the direction of nearby Ibusiki City.
Ash clouds from Mt. Sakurajima explosion reached a height of 4,500 meters, the second-highest since 1955. A record of 5,000 meters was set in 2013.
Ash fall was reported late Friday evening in areas southeast of the volcano.
One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Sakurajima is located in Kagoshima Bay, southern Kyushu, Japan (about 1,100km WSW of Tokyo). The composite volcano has three peaks: Kitadake, Nakadake and Minamidake (southern peak).

Ongoing Eruptions
Since 1955 the Minamidake crater has been continually active. The ongoing activity includes strong strombolian to ash explosions at least once and as many as 8 times a day.
The volcano was placed under a Level 3 (orange) alert by the Japan Meteorological Agency on March 21, 2012.
Level 3 (orange) alert means the volcano is active (do not approach crater).
A major lava flow in 1914 connected the volcano island to the Osumi Peninsula on the Kyushu Island.

The blackout disabled stoplights in the capital, and disrupted the subway causing chaos.
Venezuelan President Maduro has accused the far-right opposition of “sabotaging” the power lines.
“Everything seems to indicate that the far-right has resumed its plan for an electrical strike against the country,” he said.
Critics blame poor management and the failure to upgrade the infrastructure, reports said.

The twister that struck near Tokyo on Monday has been rated as an F2 tornado, Japan’s Meteorological Agency reported.
The tornado left a 19km-long path of destruction, measuring up to 200m wide and extending from the eastern part of Saitama City to Bando City in Ibaraki Prefecture, the agency said.
Severe Tropical Storm TORAJI, the 17th typhoon of the season, made landfall in Kagoshima Prefecture early on Wednesday, said Japan’s Meteorological Agency.
The powerful storm is moving through southwestern Japan, bringing heavy rain and high winds.
The authorities have issued flood and mudslide warning in the affected regions.
Toraji dumped more than 80 mm of rain per hour on the island of Shikoku, and at least 250mm over Kagoshima Prefecture by Wednesday morning local time.

At least 60 people were killed and and scores more wounded in a series of car bomb attacks and shootings in several districts of Iraq’s capital Baghdad, officials have said.
Some 804 Iraqis were killed and another 2,030 were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence in August, said United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).
“Despite the decrease in casualty figures in August, compared to July, the impact of violence on civilians remains disturbingly high, with almost 5,000 civilians killed and 12,000 injured since the beginning of 2013,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Ms. Jacqueline Badcock, warned.
Baghdad was the bloodiest governorate in August with 1,272 civilian casualties (317 killed and 955 injured), followed by Salahuddin, Ninewa, Diyala, Anbar, Kirkuk, Babil, Wasit and Basra, said UNAMI.
