Kholil was one of more than 900 villagers forced to flee their homes after authorities maintained the highest alert level following a series of 10 eruptions on Wednesday, which sent towering ash plumes into the air, and spewed lava and rocks up to 13 km down the slopes of Mount Semeru, officials reported.
