Indonesia hikes danger level for deadly tsunami volcano

14 Sept 02:26 Key points summarised by AI

Indonesia raised the danger alert level for the Anak Krakatoa volcano to high alert (second-highest) due to an escalating eruption pattern and the threat of further deadly tsunamis.
Authorities expanded the no-go zone around the volcano to five kilometers and redirected flights, cautioning residents about pyroclastic flows and the risk of rough seas.
The recent eruption caused a section of the crater to collapse into the ocean, triggering a tsunami that killed at least 430 people, injured 1,495, and displaced nearly 22,000, leaving many residents fearful of returning to coastal areas.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
