Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki has erupted once again, sending plumes of smoke and ash high into the air above it.

More than 10,000 people are living in temporary shelters after eruptions began on Thursday (7 November), sparking fears that flash flooding or other unusual weather could be on its way.

It’s thought the ash has reached heights of up to 8,000 metres - or five miles.

A total of 2,384 houses and public facilities have been damaged in recent days.
