Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- An Indonesian volcano has killed 240 people since it started erupting in October, officials said Saturday, a day after it spewed more hot ash and sent residents fleeing.
More than 390,000 people have been displaced, according to the nation's disaster coordination board.
At least 162 people suffered severe burns, the board said on its website.
Indonesia's Mount Merapi started erupting on October 26. On Friday, it spewed volcanic material for more than an hour.
