(UPDATE) MAUMERE, Indonesia — Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted again on Thursday, spewing a column of hot clouds that rose 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) from its peak, three days after a midnight eruption killed nine people and injured 64 others.
The 1,584-meter (5,197-foot) volcano on Indonesia's remote island of Flores unleashed clouds of gray hot ash. This mixture of rock, lava and gas was thrown up to 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) from its crater, Indonesia's Center for Volcanology and Disaster Mitigation said in a statement.
