Following the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau, which propelled ash clouds as high as 50,000 feet, Indonesia has suspended operations at eight airports, among them Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta. The disruption has impacted 170,000 travelers and caused delays for 1,558 flights. In response, schools in Jakarta have moved to remote learning, and ships have been prohibited from entering a 3km zone around the volcano. Officials have stated that additional eruptions are very likely, though there is no immediate threat of a tsunami.
