Indonesia’s rumbling Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted on Monday, sending a column of volcanic materials as high as 18 km into the sky and depositing ash on villages. The volcano has been at the highest alert level since last month and no casualties were reported.

Indonesia’s Geology Agency recorded an avalanche of searing gas clouds mixed with rocks and lava traveling up to 5 km down the volcano’s slopes during the eruption. The column of hot clouds that rose into the sky was the volcano’s highest since a major eruption in November 2024 that killed nine people and injured dozens. It also erupted in March.
