Indonesia's geology agency reported that Mount Anak Krakatoa erupted on Saturday, producing lava fountains and loud noises that were felt throughout parts of the country. As a result, Indonesia's Soekarno–Hatta International Airport suspended flight operations from 1:30 am Sunday morning until 9:30 am due to ash in the surrounding airspace. The suspension affected over 22,000 passengers and impacted 209 flights, including those going to Singapore, Doha, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, and Bali. This is a developing story with further details expected to emerge.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
