An eruption from Indonesia's Lewotobi Laki-laki stratovolcano has killed at least 10 on the island of Flores after volcanic debris and hot ash collapsed and burned homes.

According to the Associated Press, the dead were all found within a 2.5-mile (4 kilometers) radius of the volcano crater. The eruption occurred around midnight local time and spewed a column of ash and smoke 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) into the air. More than 10,000 people have been affected, according to the country's National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA). Search-and-rescue missions are still ongoing.
