Rescue and relief work is on in Indonesia's East Java province after Mt Semeru volcanic eruption. It is Indonesia's highest volcano in its most densely populated island. Mt Semeru spewed thick columns of ash more than 1,500 meters (nearly 5,000 feet) into the sky on Sunday. Villages and nearby towns were blanketed with falling ash, blocking out the sun, but no casualties have been reported.
