Officials have yet to confirm the deaths, however, BBC said.

The BBC added that there are other injuries, with many believed to be tourists. At least nine are from Singapore.

Rescue operations are ongoing, with rescuers still making their way to the hikers trapped on the volcano.

Reuters reported that the active volcano located in North Maluku province erupted at 7:41 am local time on May 8.

According to Indonesia's volcanology agency, the volcano spewed volcanic ash as high as 10km into the sky.
