Summary

At least 10 people have died after Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted on Indonesia’s Flores Island, unleashing fiery lava and rocks that damaged homes in seven villages. Video footage shows ash-covered residents and homes ablaze.

A state of emergency is declared for 58 days to aid 10,000 affected people, as ongoing volcanic activity has devastated local agriculture.

Situated on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” Indonesia faces frequent eruptions, with communities relying on fertile volcanic soil despite risks.
