Airlines across Asia and Australia have suspended Bali operations due to safety concerns from volcanic ash and debris.

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.

The volcanology agency said it was keeping the highest alert status for the volcano, which remains very active.
