South-west Japan on alert as Shinmoedake spews ash and smoke, days after erupting for the first time in 52 years.
A volcano in southern Japan erupted again today, its most powerful explosion since it roared back to life last week, sending ash over a wide area and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of residents.
The latest eruption felled trees, sent boulders hurtling on to roads and smashed hundreds of windows in hotels and offices five miles (8km) away.
Local media said one woman had been cut by shattered glass, but there were no reports of serious injuries.
