A powerful eruption rocked Japan as the Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture blasted a towering ash plume 4,400 meters into the sky. The explosion, which occurred around 12:57 AM, marks the most intense activity at the Minamidake crater since October last year. Volcanic rocks were hurled far down the slopes, though no injuries or damage have been reported so far.

Japan’s meteorological agency issued ashfall forecasts across several prefectures, reminding the nation just how active and unpredictable its volcanic landscape can be. This comes only days after the government released a simulation showing the potential devastation of a future Mt. Fuji eruption—a chilling warning, as that volcano hasn't erupted in over 300 years.

00:00A massive volcano just erupted in Japan, blasting ash over 4 kilometers into the sky.
00:06And this one's far from quiet.
00:08In the early hours of Sunday, Sakurajima volcano roared to life.
00:12Located in Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture, it launched a huge ash plume soaring 4,400 meters high.
00:19This marks the highest eruption since October last year.
00:22Volcanic rocks were blasted all the way to the mountain's fifth station.
00:26Thankfully, no injuries or damage have been reported yet.
00:29The alert level remains at 3, meaning access to the mountain is restricted.
00:34Sakurajima is one of Japan's most active volcanoes.
00:37And believe it or not, it used to be an island, until a massive 1914 eruption connected it to land with lava.
00:44As the ash spreads across nearby regions, Japan remains on high alert.
00:49Just days earlier, Japan released a chilling simulation of a future Mount Fuji eruption.
00:54The footage shows cities blanketed in ash and critical infrastructure collapsing.
00:58Why, Mount Fuji is overdue.
01:01It hasn't erupted in 300 years.
01:03This eruption is a loud reminder.
