Indonesia's Anak Krakatau Eruption Grounds Flights, Disrupts Regional Activities
Indonesia's Mount Anak Krakatau erupted early Sunday, sending volcanic ash up to 50,000 feet and disrupting air travel across western Indonesia. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta suspended operations until mid-afternoon, affecting over 200 flights and thousands of passengers. The ash also led to school closures and fishing cancellations in nearby areas. Authorities reported no casualties or evacuation orders but advised residents to stay at least 3 kilometers from the volcano. Multiple airports in the region temporarily halted flights as safety measures continued.
