Mt Asama eruption feared
Japan's Meteorological Agency increased the alert level at Mount Asama volcano in central Japan, warning of an eruption within two days, an agency official said yesterday.
The alert level was raised due to signs of increased seismic activity on Mount Asama, a 2,568-m peak 140 km northwest of Tokyo, the official said.
