Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki on Flores Island erupts multiple times, sending volcanic ash up to about 2.5km into the sky, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The eruptions prompt authorities to issue warnings for nearby areas and to impose safety measures around the volcano. The national volcanology agency reports the volcano is operating under Indonesia’s second-highest alert level for volcanic activity. In response, a 5km exclusion zone is in effect around the crater. Local aviation operations are affected as well: the nearby airport is closed due to the eruption and ash, leading to flight disruptions. Sources describe the ash and volcanic material as the main factor behind the suspension of flights and operational changes at the airport. The articles do not report details on injuries or damage, but they emphasize the ongoing eruption activity and the restrictions placed to reduce risk to people living or traveling near the volcano.
