Japan has raised an alert following a major eruption of the Sakurajima volcano. The powerful explosion propelled a massive column of ash into the sky, triggering immediate concern among local authorities. Residents in surrounding areas reported tremors and significant ashfall, as emergency teams rushed to assess the situation. The Japan Meteorological Agency confirmed that several eruptions occurred in rapid succession and cautioned that further activity is possible. Officials have urged people to stay indoors and avoid mountainous regions near the volcano.
