Active Indonesian volcano erupts again
There's been a massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia.
Japanese officials are determining if it could cause a tsunami.
Indonesia's volcano monitoring agency says Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted at around 11 a.m. local time Monday. It says the ash cloud reached 18 kilometers above the summit.
The atmospheric pressure caused by such an eruption could trigger tsunami. The Japan Meteorological Agency says, if so, it would likely reach Japan's southwestern prefecture of Okinawa around 3:30 p.m.
But again -- a tsunami has not yet been confirmed. This volcano has a history of repeated eruptions.
It led to casualties last November before erupting again in March and June.
