Indonesia's Semeru volcano on Java Island has erupted. Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency posted an image on social media that shows plumes of white and grey ash soaring into the sky.
Australia's volcanic ash advisory center in Darwin estimates that the plumes of ash reached a height of about 15 kilometers.
Japan's Meteorological Agency says the eruption occurred at 9:18 a.m., local time, on Sunday and its Himawari-9 weather satellite observed the spread of the volcanic ash.
The agency is also checking whether the eruption has caused any tsunami that could affect Japan. It says no significant changes in tide levels have been observed along Japanese coasts so far.
Japanese weather officials add that no particular atmospheric pressure changes have been observed in the country since the eruption. A massive distant eruption can sometimes cause changes in atmospheric pressure, leading to tidal level changes.
But the officials say people should stay updated with the latest information.
The agency started releasing information on tide and atmospheric pressure levels around Japan after a massive distant volcanic eruption off the South Pacific nation of Tonga caused such changes in Japan. The agency releases such information if ash plumes reach a height of 15 kilometers.

Police in central Japan have arrested three former nursery school teachers on suspicion of assault on young children at the school.
The suspected assaults occurred when the three women were working for Sakura Hoikuen in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture. They all quit by the end of November.
Police officers searched the school on Sunday morning. They say the suspects pushed children in the face, held them upside down by their feet, and hit their heads in June.
The nursery school says that the three were engaged in 15 kinds of ill-treatment between June and August this year.
City officials and the nursery school say the teachers yelled at one-year olds, pinched their cheeks, held them upside down by the feet and forced them to touch the bottom of one child who had symptoms of hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
The teachers also allegedly threatened a four-year-old with a box-cutter.
They reportedly told the nursery school that they had meant to discipline or teach the children how to behave and that they were sorry.
The police suspect that the three had repeatedly committed abusive acts.

Russian forces continue their fierce attacks in eastern Ukraine, and have likely made small advances in capturing a Ukrainian stronghold in the Donetsk region.
Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote in a social media post on Saturday that intermittent Russian shelling near the town of Bakhmut damaged regional administration buildings and left residents injured.
The British defense ministry posted its intelligence update on the same day, saying that "Russian forces continue to invest a large element of their overall military effort and firepower" along an approximately 15-kilometer-long front line around Bakhmut.
The ministry also said that in recent days, "Russia has highly likely made small advances on the southern axis of this assault."
It said that "the campaign has been disproportionately costly relative to these possible gains."
The ministry added that "there is a realistic possibility that Bakhmut's capture has become primarily a symbolic, political objective for Russia."
The Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, has made a similar assessment that Russian efforts to advance on Bakhmut "have resulted in the continued attrition of Russian manpower and equipment."
Ukraine presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted on Saturday that Russia has lost thousands of their troops near Bakhmut, which has "no strategic importance." He urged Russians to forget about Bakhmut.
In the southern region of Kherson, Russian forces continue to fire artillery shells toward the western side of the Dnipro River from where they withdrew last month.
The Kherson governor has posted an assessment on social media that Russian forces launched artillery volleys 28 times on Friday, damaging infrastructure and medical facilities.
The governor added that officials are helping residents evacuate on board trains and buses.

He said his team needs to be prepared for Japan's excellent teamwork and speed.
Defender Borna Sosa said Japan's strength lies in teamwork but he will also analyze individual players and try to find weaknesses in the opponent.
Key words : giant christmas tree
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20221204_06/
A giant Christmas tree has been lit up in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, which the Bible says is the birthplace of Jesus Christ.
The Christmas tree lighting ceremony took place on Saturday. It was held in front of the Church of the Nativity. The house of worship stands on the grotto, where Jesus is believed to have been born.
The event used to attract many visitors every year. But the coronavirus pandemic prompted authorities to impose a travel ban, and that kept foreign tourists away for two years.
Israel lifted the travel ban this year, so tourists can now enjoy the Christmas festivities in Bethlehem again.
A visitor from Denmark said that she came to experience Christmas in the Palestinian city. She added that she is praying for peace, as there are many crises raging on earth.
