Maumere (Indonesia): A massive explosion occurred at Indonesia’s Lewoto Bilaki Raki volcano. Therefore, lava ash can be ejected to a height of up to 10 kilometers. This caused panic among the people. The public has been banned from the area around the volcano. On the day of the explosion, 9 people also died in this incident. But so far, it’s spewing lava ash several meters high. Burning lava could still be seen Saturday after the explosion.
Let us tell you that at least 9 people died and many others were injured in the explosion that took place on November 4 in the Bila Kiraki mountain in Levoto. Activity at the Flores Island volcano in East Nusa Tenggara province has been increasing since it erupted on Monday. Authorities are warning people amid the growing danger after the volcano erupted again on Thursday.
The crater is up to 8 kilometers away from the volcano.
The size of this volcano can also be measured by the fact that the eruption crater drops up to 8 kilometers. The volcano spewed lava 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) high on Friday, Hadi Wijaya, director of the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, told a news conference. Wijaya said the eruption from the volcano on Friday sent material as far as 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the crater. These include smoldering stones, lava, and small amounts of hot gravel and ash. The country’s volcanic activity monitoring agency said there were no reports of casualties from the latest eruption. (Associated Press)
