Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,584-metre-high twin-peaked volcano on Flores island, began a series of eruptions on Friday evening with the largest blast occurring at 10:46 pm local time.
The geology agency elevated the volcano’s alert level to the highest of Indonesia’s four-tiered system on Friday night before the major eruptions began.
“Volcanic ash from Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki’s eruption could also disrupt airport operations and flight paths if it spreads towards the airport area and aircraft routes,“ he stated.
Frans Seda airport in Maumere on Flores island suspended all domestic flight operations following the volcanic eruptions.
The volcano previously erupted in July with an 18-kilometre ash tower that forced the cancellation of 24 flights at Bali’s international airport.
Laki-Laki, meaning “man” in Indonesian, forms a twin volcano system with the taller 1,703-metre Perempuan volcano whose name means “woman.”
