Dramatic footage shows a volcano erupting in Bali as it spews thick ash over dozens of villages and lava flows from its crater.
The national disaster agency said Mount Agung's eruption lasted four minutes and 30 seconds and spread lava and incandescent rocks over about two miles.
There were no reports of casualties.
Authorities had 50,000 masks available as a precaution though the alert level on the volcano remained unchanged and there had been no evacuations.
Some overnight flights were cancelled to and from Australia but airlines were operating as normal on Saturday morning.
Photographs of Mt Agung overnight showed an ash column and glowing lava in the crater of the volcano, which rises over eastern Bali at a height of just over 3,000 metres.
Footage showed lava pouring down the side of the volcano as ash spewing into the sky above villages below.
Authorities raised the alert level in 2017 when the volcano became active again after more than half a century of slumber, triggering evacuations and travel chaos.
The alert level has since been lowered but the rumbling Mt Agung has erupted intermittently since then occasionally disrupting flights.
A major eruption in 1963 killed more than 1,000 people and razed several villages
Bali, famous for its surf, beaches and temples, attracts around 5 million visitors a year.
