According to foreign media, Telegrafi, residents were filmed fleeing a giant ash cloud from Mount Semeru.
The witnesses have described villages nearby covered with debris, and thick smoke hiding the sun, leaving them in great darkness.
The airlines have warned of a cloud of ash rising up to 15,000m.
The blast occurred about 14:300 local times. Local authorities have created a limited area within five kilometers of the crater.
Thoricul Haq, a local official, told Reuters that a road and bridge from the area to the nearby town of Malang had been cut off.
