Volcanic eruption halts flights at Jakarta and seven other Indonesian airports

Ash cloud from Anak Krakatau affects hundreds of flights and some school and fishing activities

Indonesia halted operations at eight airports on Sunday, including from its main international hub, affecting hundreds of flights as a result of an ash cloud from the Anak Krakatau volcano.

Saturday's eruption, which produced lava and booming sounds that were heard up to 435 miles (700km) away, according to Indonesia's geology agency, also interrupted some school activities and fishing. Two more eruptions were recorded on Sunday.
