Ammon News - An eruption of Indonesia's Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano spewed ash clouds more than 8 kilometres (5 miles) high, authorities said as they raised the alert status to the highest level, and an Australian airline cancelled some flights into Bali on Friday.

Thursday night's large eruption of the volcano in East Nusa Tenggara province followed dozens of smaller ones since March 13, the national geological agency said in a statement.

A disaster mitigation agency spokesperson told Reuters one person was injured during evacuations. He did not immediately have details on the size or logistics of the evacuations. Reuters
