PVMBG said alert level on Mount Agung was set at Level III at present. Residents, trekkers and tourists are strictly prohibited to be around the red zone areas set at 4 km away around Mount Agung summit. Volcanic activities of the volcano located in eastern side of the Indonesia's resort island remained intense after the large eruption in 2017. Bali airport has cancelled all flights following an eruption of the Mount Agung volcano that spread ash over the south of the Indonesian island. Mount Agung eruption in November in 2017 has forced the authorities to close down the airport for several days, hampering tourism in Indonesia's ultimate destination.
