Indonesia is facing major air-travel disruption after Mount Anak Krakatau erupted, sending volcanic ash soaring up to 50,000 feet and blanketing parts of Java and Sumatra. The eruption has forced seven airports to close, including two serving the Jakarta region. Nearly 2,961 flights have been delayed, diverted or cancelled, affecting around 341,000 travellers. 

A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake strikes Indonesia's Flores region, causing buildings to collapse, triggering panic and prompting a tsunami warning that was later lifted. The shallow offshore quake is followed by multiple aftershocks, with tsunami waves of less than one metre recorded in some areas. Rescue teams continue assessing damage and casualties across affected parts of Flores.
