A VOLCANO has erupted in central Indonesia, spitting lava and smoke
thousands of feet into the air and sending residents in the area
fleeing, a disaster official has confirmed.
There are no immediate reports of causalities.
Brian Rulrone said the first blast at 10.46pm last night local time sent
thousands of people living along the slopes of Mount Lokon fleeing.
It was followed by a second eruption just after midnight.

Its last major eruption in 1991 killed a Swiss hiker and forced
thousands of people to flee their homes.
