EAST FLORES, Indonesia — A volcano in eastern Indonesia erupted again on Saturday, sending a giant ash tower 9 kilometers (more than 5 miles) into the sky, days after it killed nine people and forced thousands of locals to evacuate.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,703-meter (5,587-foot) twin-peaked volcano on the tourist island of Flores, has erupted more than a dozen times this week, killing nine people after its initial burst on Monday.
