Dozens of flights have been cancelled across Indonesia after a volcano shot hot ash more than six miles into the air, creating clouds that have forced airlines to ground their flights to avoid dangerous flying conditions.
Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki, found on the Indonesian island of Flores, erupted at 5.35pm local time on Tuesday and spewed out 10,000m (about 32,800ft) of grey clouds in the air that could be seen from 150km away.
