6 killed by hot lava as Indonesia volcano erupts

Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency says a volcano has erupted in eastern Indonesia, killing six people and shooting smoke and ash up to 2,000 meters into the air.

The agency confirmed the eruption in a Tweet, saying Mount Rokatenda in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted early Saturday morning and that the six were killed by lava flow. The victims included three adults and two children. The volcano has been rumbling since October 2012. (AP)
