Indonesia volcano closes 8 airports
The Anak Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia erupted, leading to the suspension of operations at eight airports located 150 kilometers from Jakarta, affecting over 150,000 travelers and 467 domestic and international flights. The volcano, which has been intermittently active since the beginning of the century, unleashed a fountain of lava and enormous booms whose echoes were heard 700 kilometers away. Ash clouds from the volcano ascended into the airspace surrounding the airports, prompting flight cancellations and air traffic restrictions. Authorities also closed schools in Jakarta and switched to online education. The volcanic activity continues, with two new eruptions having been recorded.
