A week after flights were cancelled in and out of Bali’s airport, Mount Agung has burst into life again today at 11:42am sending plumes of ash into the Balinese sky.

Indonesia’s Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center said the eruption lasted for 8 minutes

Despite the renewed activity, Mount Agung remains on level alert level three, or “standby” status, and officials have not changed the exclusion zone around the volcano, which remains at a 4 kilometre radius.
