Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatoa) volcano spewed incandescent rocks as high as 2,440 meters above Indonesia's Sunda Strait, posing a threat to fishermen and tourists sailing near the volcanic island.
The Antara news agency reports that eyewitnesses said the eruption produced a deafening sound and sent large amounts of smoke billowing even higher than the red-hot stones.
Vulcanologists warned those rocks were as hot as 1,482 degrees Celsius and could have killed anyone struck by them. Anak Krakatau has produced swarms of increased activity in recent weeks.
