Maximum alert in Japanwhere the vulcano Sakurajima, which is located in the southern area of the Asian country.
At least two towns were evacuated, with inconvenience for at least fifty people. The national meteorological agency has indeed issued its alarm of maximum level, 5, which provides for the evacuation of the inhabitants, from the previous level 3, which prevents access to the mountain.
Television footage show lava and dark plumes of ash coming out of the Sakurajima crater, a Kagoshima, which began operations shortly after 8pm local time. The ongoing eruption threw ash 2.5 kilometers away from the crater.

At the moment, however, they are not reported danniaccording to the public broadcaster Nhk.
Japanese nuclear authorities said no irregularities were found in the neighboring area Sendai nuclear power plant, he reported Reuters.
According to NASA, Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan, with several eruptions in recent decades. Previously, one had been recorded in January, when it generated a cloud of ash for miles in the air.
Sakurajima used to be an island, but due to previous eruptions it has been attached to it for just over a century Osumi peninsula.
The last time that Japan issued the maximum alarm ordering evacuations for the activity of a volcano was on the occasion of the eruption of the island of Kuchinoerabu, also in Kagoshimaa city of 600,000 inhabitants, in 2015. It is therefore not new: in the country there are dozens of active volcanoes, being in the middle of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where a large part of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of the world are recorded.
