The Motoshirane volcano erupted on Tuesday and triggered an avalanche at a nearby ski resort in which one person was killed and several injured.

The emergency services have had to temporarily suspend the search for missing people in the ski resort of Japan affected by a volcanic eruption and an avalanche, after detecting volcanic earthquakes that could suggest a new eruption.
Firefighters and police continued this morning with the rescue of people who could have been trapped under the snow near the Motoshirane volcano (Gunma prefecture, north of Tokyo), which registered a sudden eruption on Tuesday that left one dead and in around a dozen wounded.
The search was interrupted after new tremors were detected, which could lead to landslides and suggest a new eruption, and will be resumed when experts displaced to the site to study the eruption determine that the situation has stabilized, the state chain reported. NHK
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has insisted today on the need to keep away from the volcano and has kept alert 3, in a scald of 5 (which recommends not approaching the foothills of the mountain), because it could erupt again and throwing volcanic waste like those that reached the mortal victim.

The agency detected more than 600 volcanic earthquakes on Tuesday, but had not recorded any since midnight until 09:00 local time (00.00 GMT), after which it has detected seven of different magnitude, according to the latest published measurements.
One dead and several injured
The deceased in the catastrophe that occurred in the ski resort due to the eruption of the nearby volcano and the almost simultaneous avalanche is a 49-year-old soldier who was hit by volcanic waste.
Six other soldiers doing exercises in the vicinity were injured, as well as five other skiers who were hit by debris while traveling in a gondola lift.
The eruption on Tuesday of the Motoshirane, a 2,171-meter volcano that together with the Shirane and Ainomine peaks forms the so-called Mount Kusatsu-Shirane, was the first to record this mountain in about 3,000 years.
