  "summary": "Indonesia has raised the alert level for Anak Krakatau volcano to Level III, the second-highest on its four-tier warning system, following 13 eruptions recorded on Friday. The Geological Agency, which monitors volcanic activity, assessed the situation since early October and raised the alert from Level II at 9pm local time. The latest eruptions included ash columns reaching 250 and 150 metres above the summit, as well as 26 eruption-related earthquakes detected throughout the day. Authorities have imposed a five-kilometre exclusion zone around the volcano and warned residents, visitors, and tourists to stay away from the area. The renewed activity follows major eruptions from Sept 5 to 8 that disrupted nearly 3,000 flights and affected around 341,000 passengers, prompting temporary airport closures.",
