World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported5m ago
The eruption of the Anak Krakatoa volcano has forced the temporary closure of the international airport in Jakarta, one of Southeast Asia's primary aviation connection hubs, due to the presence of volcanic ash. The volcanic activity has also resulted in the cancellation of sixteen international and four domestic flights.
Ash from the eruption is dispersing across the provinces of Banten, West Java, Jakarta, Lampung, and Bengkulu. Anak Krakatoa is notable for having previously caused a tsunami in 2018.
