The eruption at Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki spewed thick ash as high as 2,000 meters into the air, and hot ashes hit a nearby village, burning down several houses.
Smoke billows from Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, as seen from Klatanlo village, in East Flores Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, on Nov. 4, 2024, after it erupted overnight.
The Disaster Management Agency lowered the known death toll from an earlier report of nine, saying it had received updated information from local authorities. It said that information was still being collected about the extent of casualties and damage, as local media reports said more people were buried in collapsed houses.
The agency said at least 10,000 people have been affected by the eruption in Wulanggitang District, in the six nearby villages of Pululera, Nawokote, Hokeng Jaya, Klatanlo, Boru and Boru Kedang.
