Two further eruptions at Anak Krakatau sent volcanic ash across parts of Indonesia, with hundreds of flights reportedly disrupted.
Two further eruptions have been recorded at Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano as it continues to emit volcanic ash, according to a report from Al Jazeera Global News.
The eruption began late on Friday and was followed by seismic activity, lava fountains and booming sounds. Indonesian authorities reported the additional eruptions early on Sunday.
Indonesia’s meteorological agency reported ash at heights of up to 20,000 feet over Java and 50,000 feet towards Sumatra. The ash disrupted hundreds of flights, although the supplied report does not specify the number of flights or affected airports.
Health authorities advised people in affected areas to remain indoors and wear face masks. The available information does not provide details on casualties, damage or current travel conditions.
