Fourteen people were killed after they were engulfed by scorching ash clouds from Indonesia's Mount Sinabung in its biggest eruption in recent days.

Eight people were found dead in Sukameriah village, near Mount Sinabung on the western island of Sumatra, four or whom were schoolchildren on a sightseeing trip to the volcano.

Six other bodies were recovered from the village later in the afternoon.

Photographers captured scenes of corpses covered in ash just yards from a fallen motorcycle as masked rescuers battled through the fumes to reach them.

Officials fear there could be more fatalities from the eruptions, but due to the high potential of lethal heat clouds spewing from the mountain, the search and rescue has been grounded.

Three other people, a father and son as well as another man, suffered from burn injuries.

Mount Sinabung had shown a reduction of activity since mid-January.

But it erupted again this morning, sending hot rocks and ash up to 2,000 metres into the air, blanketing the surrounding countryside with grey dust.
