Mt Kelud Erupts in Indonesia, 100,000 Forced to Evacuate as Ash Blankets Java
Mount Kelud erupted late Thursday on Indonesia's Java island, forcing more than 100,000 to flee their homes and killing at least three others. A blanket of ash - up to 5 centimeters thick in some cases - forced regional airports and major tourist destinations, such as the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, to close, according to media reports.
