Authorities confirmed that the volcanic activity occurred on Thursday, May 15, at around 11:35 am.

Residents were advised to remain indoors and to wear masks if venturing outside.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage following the incident. Emergency services remain on alert in case further eruptions occur.

Sakurajima is one of Japan's most active volcanoes, with a history of frequent eruptions. Originally an island, it became a peninsula after a significant eruption in 1914.
