GDACS Global Disaster AlertsLO·ID·about 16 hours ago
Anak Krakatoa erupted on Saturday, spewing ash that forced Jakarta's airport to close Sunday, affecting over 200 flights and 22,000 passengers. The closure is a direct infrastructure disruption from a natural hazard; the eruption's duration and further ash dispersion remain uncertain. This highlights regional aviation vulnerability to volcanic activity in Indonesia.
