Indonesia halted operations at its main international airport outside Jakarta on Sept. 6 after ash spewed from the Anak Krakatoa volcano more than 150 kilometers away, impacting thousands of passengers.
Mount Anak Krakatoa erupted on Sept. 5, producing a fountain of lava and booming sounds that could be heard up to a few hundred kilometers away, the geology agency said in a statement.
Two new eruptions were recorded on Sept. 6, the volcanology agency warned.
