Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki spews giant column of ash

Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki has erupted again, spreading fresh panic among residents already traumatised by explosions that killed at least ten people on Monday.

The country’s volcanology agency reported seven eruptions on Thursday, with the most powerful ejecting a giant column of ash 8,000m (5 miles) into the air.

Authorities imposed a 7km (4.3 miles) exclusion zone around the volcano on the island of Flores.

More than 10,000 people are living in temporary shelters, with authorities warning of potential flash floods and cold lava flows in the coming days.
