Indonesia Issues Highest Alert Following Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki Eruption
Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki in Indonesia has erupted dramatically, spewing ash up to 11 kilometers into the sky and prompting authorities to issue the highest alert level. The massive ash cloud has been visible from 90 miles away, leading to the cancellation of dozens of flights to Bali and causing significant disruptions for passengers. Airlines including Singapore Airlines, Scoot, and Air New Zealand have been affected, with many passengers stranded as evacuations are ordered in the surrounding areas. Emergency services are monitoring the situation closely as the volcano continues to show activity.
