Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Eastern Indonesia erupted twice on Saturday, volcanology authorities said, sending thick, dark clouds into the air.
The first eruption took place at 11.04am and lasted nearly 11 minutes, according to the Indonesian volcanology agency.
The second was at 2.41pm and lasted a little over 10 minutes, spewing volcanic material 900m above the crater.
The mountain, located on the popular tourist destination of Flores island, had several major eruptions in January, prompting authorities at the time to raise the alert status to the highest level and evacuate at least 2,000 residents.
The volcano is currently at the second highest alert level. — AFP
