Mount Lewotobi in Indonesia erupted multiple times on Friday, sending volcanic ash 10 km into the air and killing nine people. The eruption on Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara damaged over 2,000 homes and prompted the evacuation of 6,000 residents. Officials described the eruptions as "significant" with ash rains impacting surrounding areas. Supplies, including food and masks, have been provided for evacuees. The volcano is part of Indonesia's "Ring of Fire," an area prone to high seismic activity. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure residents' safety.
