The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in south-central Indonesia erupted three times, sending an ash column 8,000m (26,200 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 significantly increased in the last seven days.
