On July 9, 2007, the Indonesian volcano Mount Gamkonora began spewing hot ash and smoke from its crater. Columns of ash and smoke shot up over 3,000 meters, prompting authorities to declare a "state of alert" and evacuate approximately 8,000 residents from the area.

Situation Downgraded
On July 16, 2007, authorities downgraded the state of alert after volcanic activity and seismic tremors had declined. The evacuated residents were allowed to return to their homes, none of which had incurred any damage. No casualties or injuries were reported following the volcanic activity, but some residents complained of breathing problems due to high levels of ash in the air. -
