Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Indonesia erupted violently on July 7, sending a massive ash plume 18 kilometres into the sky and prompting the cancellation of at least 24 flights, including routes to Australia, Singapore, and South Korea. The eruption, which lasted over six minutes, was accompanied by explosive sounds and hot clouds that travelled up to 5 kilometres. Though Bali’s airspace remains open, several airlines like Jetstar, AirAsia, and Virgin Australia grounded flights as a precaution. Authorities warned of potential lahar floods and advised residents to maintain a six-kilometre safety radius. The volcano, located on Flores Island, has shown heightened activity in recent weeks. No casualties have been reported so far. Volcano Erupts in Indonesia Video: Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki Spews Ash 11 Kilometres High Into Sky After Eruption.
