Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano erupts, sending ash cloud 11 miles in the air
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia's rumbling Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted Monday, sending a column of volcanic materials as high as 18 kilometers (11 miles) into the sky and depositing ash on villages. Indonesia's Geology Agency said in a statement it recorded the volcano unleashing an avalanche of searing gas clouds down its slopes during the eruption. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The country's volcano monitoring agency had increased the volcano's alert status to the highest level after an eruption on June 18, and more than doubled an exclusion zone to a 7-kilometer (4.3-mile) radius since then as eruptions became more frequent. An eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki in November killed nine people and injured dozens. It also erupted in March. The 1,584-meter (5,197-foot) mountain is a twin volcano with Mount Lewotobi Perempuan in the district of Flores Timur. Indonesia is an archipelago of 270 million people with frequent seismic activity. It has 120 active volcanoes and sits along the 'Ring of Fire,' a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.

Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano erupts, spewing 10km-high ash cloud
Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted with giant ash and smoke plumes again on Wednesday, after prompting the evacuation of villages and flight cancellations, including to and from the holiday island of Bali. Several eruptions sent ash into the sky from Tuesday evening to Wednesday afternoon. In one eruption, 10km-high thick, grey clouds expanded into a mushroom-shaped formation visible up to 150km away. Indonesia raised its eruption alert to the highest level, and the danger zone which people are recommended to leave was expanded to 8km from the crater. The Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki monitoring station was also evacuated because of the danger from falling gravel thrown out in the eruption. No casualties have been reported. Dozens of flights were cancelled on Wednesday, including those connecting Bali to cities in Australia, Malaysia, India and China, according to the website of Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Volcanic ash can pose a risk to plane engines. Ash and debris fell in a number of places outside the danger zone, including the villages of Boru, Hewa and Watobuku. The 1,584-metre Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki is a twin volcano with Mount Lewotobi Perempuan in the district of Flores Timur, and activity is regular. An eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki in November killed nine people and injured dozens. It also erupted in March.
