Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted on Monday, July 7, spewing an 18-km ash cloud that billowed up into the sky.
The country's national geological agency warned of the potential for lava flows into rivers upstream high on the volcano, and urged people to stay outside of a 7km radius of the center of the eruption.
As volcanic ash rained down on nearby villages, the agency urged people to wear masks or other mouth and nose coverings to protect against the dangers of inhalation.
