Indonesia's Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano erupts twice in 2 days, unleashing 6-mile-high ash cloud
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A volcano in Indonesia sent gigantic ash plumes into the sky during two eruptions on Tuesday (June 17) and Wednesday (June 18). Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki first erupted at 5:35 p.m. local time (5:35 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, unleashing a mushroom-shaped ash cloud measuring more than 6 miles (10 kilometers) high, Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said in a translated statement. The cloud was visible up to 95 miles (150 km) from the volcano and showered nearby villages with debris, according to the statement. The eruption was accompanied by rumbling, lightning and thunder, which is typical of explosive eruptions that spew enormous amounts of material, officials said. A second eruption shook Lewotobi Laki-laki on Wednesday, shooting more ash 3 miles (5 km) into the sky, the Associated Press reported. No casualties have been reported from these eruptions.

The other peak, Lewotobi Perempuan, is located less than 1.2 miles (2 km) away from Lewotobi Laki-laki and is currently less active. "Laki-laki" means "man" in Indonesian, while "perempuan" is a word for "woman" with somewhat derogatory connotations. Warning signs at Lewoboti Laki-laki prompted officials to raise the eruption alert to the highest level on Tuesday, according to the statement.

"We immediately deployed an Emergency Response Team to immediately be at the affected location to provide technical assistance," Wafid said in the statement. Dozens of flights were canceled or delayed as a result of the eruptions. An eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki in November 2024 killed at least 10 people. The volcano also erupted in March 2025.

The findings are expected to support the development of more effective energy-related fiscal policies and promote sustainable savings over the long term. JREEEF Director Rasmi Hamzeh highlighted the significance of the renewed partnership with KOTRA, describing it as a continuation of the strong, results-oriented cooperation between the two sides. Hamzeh noted that the programme will prioritise technical and financial assessments of current initiatives and the development of staff competencies to support future projects. KOTRA representative expressed appreciation for the strategic partnership with Jordan, emphasising that the initiative reflects South Korea's broader commitment to supporting energy development in partner countries through knowledge exchange and the sharing of successful practices. The programme is part of JREEEF's broader vision to support Jordan's shift toward clean, sustainable energy and to boost energy efficiency across all sectors by adopting international best practices tailored to the Kingdom's national priorities.
