A volcano on the eastern side of the country has erupted multiple times, spewing a column of ash kilometres into the sky after authorities raised its alert level to the highest, prompting a local airport to suspend operations.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,584m-high twin-peaked volcano on Flores island, launched into a series of eruptions on Friday evening, with the largest at 10.46pm local time sending volcanic material six kilometres above its peak, the volcanology agency said in a statement.
