FLORES - Rain of volcanic ash fell in the area around Mount Lewotobi Laki in Wulangitang District, East Flores Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), on Friday, November 8 afternoon.

Based on ANTARA's monitoring at the Mount Lewotobi Male Observation Post in Pululura Village, Wulangitang, East Flores, NTT, at around 14.30 WITA, ash rain began to fall in the area around the village which is about seven km away.

This ash rain began with several explosions from inside Mount Lewotobi The male that occurred about 15-20 minutes earlier. The boom caused an eruption, which also caused a column of smoke towering upwards, as well as hot clouds falling towards the west.

The atmosphere around the location was observed to be dark, with black clouds, accompanied by thundering, and occasionally a lightning flash strikes.

Until now, the relevant authorities are processing further information regarding this matter.
