Ongoing Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki Eruption Halts Flights, Prompts Wider Evacuations

Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupted on June 17, 2025, in Maumere, Indonesia, sending a volcanic ash column over 10,000 meters high into the sky.
Authorities raised the volcano's alert level to the highest on a four-tier scale due to persistent tremors and increased volcanic activity in the region.
Emergency evacuations affected hundreds of residents within an expanded danger zone of about five miles, while tourists and locals were urged to avoid a 7 km radius.
At least 30 flights, including those by Singapore Airlines and AirAsia X, were canceled due to ash moving northward, although the main Bali airport remained open and no casualties were reported.
Officials warned of potential lahar floods if heavy rains occur, advising residents to wear masks to protect against ash inhalation and to follow official guidelines until activity subsides.
