The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in eastern Indonesia erupted several times, causing significant damage and loss of life. According to multiple reports, at least 10 people died, including a child, and several houses, including a convent of Catholic nuns, were burned. The eruptions began just before midnight on Sunday and propelled lava and rocks across a four-mile radius around the summit, leaving villages in the area deep in volcanic ash.

    1. I was asleep when suddenly the bed shook twice, as if someone had slammed it. Then I realised the volcano had erupted, so I ran outside.
    2. I saw flames coming out and immediately fled. There were ashes and stones everywhere. My salon also caught fire and everything inside was lost.
