The East Asian country is located between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and comprises more than 17,000 islands.
Mount Ibu Volcano is located on the eastern side of the country and has been erupting since May.
As per an official from the volcanology agency, "The volcano is recently active because there is an intense magma movement."
Last month, another volcano named Ruang erupted in North Sulawesi and spewed incandescent lava, forcing the evacuation of more than 12,000 people.
More than 60 people were killed after flash floods and cold lava flow from Mount Marapi, one of the most active volcanoes in the province of West Sumatra, inundated several nearby districts following torrential rain on May 11.
