The Volcanoes Center reported a second eruption at 10:35 pm that lasted for 38 minutes and 4 seconds, unleashing a 500-meter-high ash plume that spread to the north.

A webcam image taken from the island of Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait also showed lava flowing from the volcano.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency's data head said monitoring by the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center shows that the eruption lasted until Saturday morning until 5:44 am WIB.

Satellite images revealed a large volcanic eruption, with ash and plumes shooting 15 km (47 feet) into the sky.

The giant volcano had lost more than two-thirds of its height after the eruption, which triggered a deadly tsunami that killed 400 people, in 2018.

It is worth noting that Krakatoa volcano is considered one of the most terrifying volcanoes the world has ever known, rising 357 m (1200 ft) above the tropical stillness of the Sunda Strait in Indonesia.

In 1883, with the explosive power of 13 times the power of the atomic bomb that wiped out Japan's Hiroshima, the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano killed more than 36 people and radically changed weather and global temperatures for years thereafter.

The eruption was so violent and catastrophic that no active modern-day volcano came close to rivaling it, not even the spectacular eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States in 1980.

Official records at the time showed that the deadly eruption, along with the resulting massive tsunami, destroyed 165 villages and towns, severely damaged another 132 villages and killed 36417 people on the spot.
