Hundreds evacuated as Indonesia volcano erupts

More than 500 people have been evacuated from an Indonesian island where a volcanic eruption killed five at the weekend, an official said, as Mount Rokatenda spewed more clouds of ash Monday.

The volcano on Palue island in East Nusa Tenggara province threw red-hot ash two kilometers (1.2 miles) into the sky Saturday and unleashed molten lava onto a beach, killing three adults and two children as they slept.
