Indonesia: Ash from erupting volcano shuts airport in Bali
Ash from a volcanic eruption forced the closure of the international airport on the Indonesian resort island of Bali on Friday, June 29, as Mount Agung volcano became active again after a lull since late last year.
Videos shared with Reuters showed the volcano erupting on Thursday evening. The airport will stay shut on Friday until 7 pm local time (1100 GMT), and 48 flights had been cancelled affecting 8,334 passengers, including 38 international flights and 10 domestic flights, the disaster mitigation agency said in a statement.
Mount Agung, in northeastern Bali, has erupted with various intensities since late last year and in December the airport was also closed for a period and thousands were evacuated closer to the volcano.
