More than 5,000 people have fled their homes in western Indonesia in recent days following a series of violent volcanic eruptions.

Mount Sinabung on the north of Sumatra island has been hurling out red-hot ash, rocks and torrents of glowing lava up to four miles into the air since the start of the month.

The latest eruption today forced people from seven villages to flee their homes to seek refuge in government shelters.
