More than 75,000 people have been evacuated from the area around Mount Agung on Bali amid fears of an imminent eruption, the Indonesian disaster agency has said.

Indonesia’s disaster agency says hundreds of tremors daily from the volcano indicate magma is moving toward the surface and an eruption is possible.

Agung last erupted in 1963, killing about 1,100 people.
