Flight cancellations due to eruption of volcano in Bali
A volcano eruption on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali, is causing some flight cancellations to and from Australia as an ash cloud rose into the sky.
Mount Agung volcano spewed out lava and showers of rocks over a distance of about 3 km with ash falling over dozens of villages, officials said. There were no reports of casualties.
Flights, run by Qantas Airways, JetStar and Virgin Airlines, were operating normally on Saturday.
Authorities had 50,000 masks available as a precaution though the alert level on the volcano remained unchanged and there had been no evacuations.
