Watch: Huge plumes of ash rise as Indonesia's Mount Dukono erupts
Three hikers - including two foreigners and a local resident - have died after Indonesia's Mount Dukono volcano erupted on Friday.
Mount Dukono is an active volcano on the island of Halmahera, situated to the east of Sulawesi. According to the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia, it erupted at 07:41 local time (22:41 GMT Thursday) sending ash plumes 10km into the sky.
Rescuers have found all the survivors from a group of 20 hikers who went missing after the eruption. Most have been evacuated from the mountain and are receiving treatment in hospital - though two porters remained behind to assist in locating the bodies.
Officials said the group - which includes nine Singaporeans - were hiking up the volcano despite an existing climbing ban.
