Indonesia's Mount Sinabung volcano continued sending hot gas and rock down its slopes and into the sky on Wednesday, dpa cited an official as saying. More than 22,000 people have been displaced by the volcano's latest round of activity, which began in September, the National Disaster Management Agency said. 'It still has a lot of energy, so it's expected to continue to erupt for some time,' said disaster management agency spokesman Sutopo Nugroho. He said the volcano has erupted more than 20 times since Tuesday. The 2,460-metre volcano had been dormant for 400 years before it erupted in August 2010. There are nearly 130 active volcanoes across the Indonesian archipelago.
