Indonesia faces flight cancellations due to volcanic eruption
The eruption of Anak Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia led to the suspension of hundreds of flights at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, due to the ash plume reaching the airport's airspace. Flights were halted until 9:30 a.m. (02:30 GMT), affecting 209 flights, including international ones. The volcano's activity has become a concern for residents' safety and local activities, with advisories to wear masks and reduce outdoor activities. Experts, however, confirmed that there is no imminent threat of a resulting tsunami. The eruption brings to mind the 2018 disaster that claimed hundreds of lives due to a tsunami triggered by a collapse of part of the volcano.
