Almost 60,000 people have been evacuated from the area after the region experienced hundreds of volcanic earthquakes in one day. |
The last time Mount Agung erupted was in 1963, when more than 1,000 people were killed. The event led to an increased frequency of earthquakes. Authorities have urged people to stay out the danger zone, a designated 9km-12km radius of the volcano. | The last time Mount Agung erupted was in 1963, when more than 1,000 people were killed.
