"Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano erupts, cancelling flights at Jakarta airport and others
Volcanic ash spread across parts of Jakarta and Lampung province on Sumatra’s southern tip
Anak Krakatau volcano erupted in Indonesia early Sunday, prompting the cancellation of all flights at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and disrupting other domestic airports as volcanic ash drifted across parts of western Indonesia.
The volcanic island located in Indonesia's Sunda Strait, between the main Java and Sumatra islands, had shown signs of activity since Friday before erupting for 30 seconds at 3:53 a.m. local time on Sunday and for 16 seconds about three hours later, Indonesia's Geological Agency said."
