INDONESIA’S most active volcano killed 77 people yesterday in its biggest eruption in over a century, incinerating homes, grounding flights and driving thousands into shelters.

Blistering gas from Indonesia’s most volatile volcano spewed farther than expected today, incinerating houses at the edge of the danger zone, triggering chaotic evacuations and pushing the death toll in more than a week to nearly 100.

A deadly volcano in Indonesia started spewing another searing cloud of ash down its slopes today after a lull in activity.

Large eruptions of searing hot gas and debris led to the hasty evacuation of thousands of villagers from Mount Merapi’s slopes today – a day after they got the OK to go home – as authorities raised the volcano’s alert level to its highest status again.
