A volcano in Indonesia erupted on Friday, 8 May 2026. It killed three people in a hiking group. Two were from Singapore. One was a woman from Indonesia. The volcano sent ash high into the sky. It also threw down big rocks. Seventeen other hikers were saved.
The hikers knew that climbing was not allowed. But they wanted to make videos for the internet. The volcano had been very active for weeks. The area was closed on 17 April. The local guide said he did not know about the rule.
A big rock from the volcano killed two of the hikers. Officials are now investigating the case. They want to know if the tour company broke the rules. The volcano is now closed forever. Rescue teams found the last bodies on Sunday.
