Indonesia Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted for the second time in four days on Friday sending a column of ash 12 kilometres into the air and forcing the evacuation of more than 6000 residents from surrounding villages on Flores island. The eruption triggered a red alert across a 7-kilometre exclusion zone. Airlines were advised to reroute flights. Fourteen people were treated for breathing difficulties.
