Dozens of flights to and from the Indonesian resort island of Bali have been cancelled or delayed after one of country's most active volcanoes erupted. Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki on the island of Flores spewed an ash tower more than 11km (6.8 miles) into the sky at 17:35 local time (10:35 BST) on Tuesday, the country's volcanology agency said.

A volcanic eruption in Indonesia sent an enormous ash cloud more than six miles into the sky, disrupting or canceling dozens of flights to and from the tourist island of Bali.

Bound for Bali, the Air India flight AI 2145 was advised an air return due to the condition following the volcanic eruption. The flight was scheduled to depart from the Denpasar International Airport in Bali, Indonesia at 10.30 am (local time) and was to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport around 2.30 pm.
