A series of volcanic eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki on Indonesia's remote island of Flores killed nine people and injured dozens with searing lava and ash, as buildings crumbled and terrified residents ran for their lives in darkness.

Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency said Monday that at least 10 people have died as a series of volcanic eruptions widens on the remote island of Flores.

A volcano in eastern Indonesia erupted again on Tuesday, blowing an ash column into the sky a day after it spewed fireballs on nearby villages that killed nine people.
