A volcano blasted ash two miles into the sky after erupting on Japan's southern island of Kyushu on Wednesday.
Officials warned of a risk of large falling rocks and lava flows within a radius of about half a mile around the mountain's crater, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Mount Aso erupted at about 11.43am local time (0343 BST), and the ash falls have been showering nearby towns in the prefecture of Kumamoto
