The Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano erupted on Indonesia’s Flores Island, resulting in at least ten fatalities as many were caught off guard while sleeping. Local rescue teams continue to search for survivors amid fears that the death toll may rise. Over 10,000 people are affected, with significant damage to homes and infrastructure in surrounding villages. The Indonesian authorities have expanded the exclusion zone to seven kilometers and declared a state of emergency as ash and debris rain down. This eruption follows months of increasing volcanic activity, raising concerns about safety in the region.
