A volcano on the southwestern main island of Kyushu that erupted earlier this week for the first time in six years erupted again on Saturday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
Mount Shinmoe, straddling Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, spewed ash around 2,300 metres above its crater soon after an eruption in the morning. There were no immediate reports of injury or property damage.
The agency issued a warning for flying rocks and pyroclastic flows covering areas within 2km of the crater of the 1,421m-high volcano.
