Anak Krakatau Eruption Disrupts Flights | Lubbock News

Mount Anak Krakatau erupted again, grounding nearly 3,000 flights and shutting down key Jakarta airports for two days as volcanic ash blanketed the skies. Though the main blast calmed by Sunday night, authorities waited until it was safe before reopening runways. This “child of Krakatau” has a deadly history — its 2018 eruption triggered a tsunami that killed over 400 people. In response, schools switched to online classes to protect students from harmful ash. With Indonesia sitting on the Ring of Fire and home to over 120 active volcanoes, Anak Krakatau remains at the second-highest alert level, with locals warned to stay three kilometers away from the crater.
