World News 2: Bali flights cancelled after Indonesia volcano erupts

In Indonesia, dozens of flights have been canceled or delayed after Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupted on Tuesday.

The volcano on Flores Island erupted at around 5:35 PM local time, sending a massive ash cloud over 10 kilometers into the sky, visible up to 150 kilometers away.

Authorities have raised the alert to the highest Level 4.

The ash cloud prompted the cancelation and delay of flights to and from Bali's international airport.

The airport in Flores also closed temporarily.

Several villages near the volcano were evacuated.

While no injuries have been reported, ash is falling on homes and roads, and is contaminating water supplies.

According to experts, ash clouds pose serious risks to jet engines, and could linger depending on wind.

They also cautioned about potential lava flows and mudslides if rain follows.
