On March 10, 2009, Sakurajima erupted, sending debris up to 2 km away. An eruption had been expected following a series of smaller explosions over the weekend. It is not thought there was any damage caused by the latest eruption.
Sakurajima is the most recent volcanic eruption in japan. This active volcano is located in southern Kyushu in Japan, and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
The most destructive volcanic eruption ever recorded was the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people directly and indirectly due to the eruption and its aftermath, including crop failures and famine. The eruption also caused a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, with widespread climate abnormalities and crop failures around the world.
Eruption types can be ranked from most destructive to least destructive as follows: Plinian eruptions, which are characterized by explosive outbursts that can produce large ash columns and pyroclastic flows, are the most destructive. Next are Vulcanian eruptions, which involve short-lived bursts of explosive activity. Strombolian eruptions, featuring moderate bursts of lava and gas, are less destructive, while Hawaiian eruptions, characterized by gentle lava flows, are the least destructive.
most recent and destructive was the eruption that was in 1707-1708

As a separate volcano, Sakurajima is about 22,000 years old. It is the latest peak in the Aira caldera and was a separate island until an eruption in 1914. It has been in the current state of eruption since 1955.
Today
The most destructive eruption was about 6500 years ago investigators are still trying to figure out the lives lost and the damage done.
When eruption types are arranged from most destructive to least, it is in descending order.
