Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano erupts, prompting alert level to be raised

The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in south-central Indonesia has erupted, sending an ash column 26,000 feet high and prompting authorities to expand the danger zone around the volcano. The volcano on the remote island of Flores in East Nusa Tenggara province has had hundreds of earthquakes and visible volcanic activity has increased. An eruption followed by an explosion was heard Thursday evening as much as 50 miles from the volcano. There were two other eruptions, and smaller activity during the day Friday. The danger zone was expanded to 8 kilometers from the crater. No new evacuations were ordered.
