On Tuesday, Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano erupted, sending vast columns of ash into the sky and prompting authorities to elevate the alert level to its peak.

The Geology Agency reported the emission of 10,000-meter-thick grey clouds amid intensified volcanic activities. The ash expanded, forming a mushroom cloud visible from cities up to 150 km away.

While no casualties were reported from this eruption, residents have been warned of potential lava flows during heavy rains. The twin volcano stands alongside Mount Lewotobi Perempuan, both part of Indonesia's volatile volcanic landscape.
