Overview

• Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,584-metre twin-peaked volcano on Flores Island, erupted at 11:05 am local time, sending an ash column 18 kilometres into the sky.
• The volcanology agency reported no immediate casualties or damage from the eruption.
• Authorities cautioned that heavy rains could trigger hazardous lahar flows along rivers below the volcano.
• Unlike last month’s eruption, which grounded dozens of flights to and from Bali, no cancellations were reported after Monday’s event.
• The volcano sits within Indonesia’s seismically active Ring of Fire as part of a twin system paired with the 1,703-metre Perempuan peak.
