인도네시아 레워톨로 화산 8년 만에 분화
Indonesia's Mount Ili Lewotolok has erupted,... sending four kilometers of smoke and ash into the sky.
This comes eight years after the volcano on the island of Lembata last erupted in 2012.
Thousands were forced to evacuate,.. while the local airport was temporarily closed.
But no injuries were reported.
Following Sunday's eruption, the country raised the mountain's volcanic status to the second-highest in its four-tier system.
Only three other volcanoes in the country are at that level.
Indonesia has nearly 1-hundred-30 active volcanoes,...more than any other country.
