Meanwhile, more than six airports have been closed due to the eruption of a volcano in Indonesia.

It is known that the ash of the volcanic eruption has spread to the island of Borneo in Malaysia. Authorities are evacuating thousands of people amid fears of a tsunami.

Officials said on Wednesday that there were three eruptions from Mount Ruang on Tuesday. Lava and ash spread up to five kilometers into the sky.

Authorities have issued orders to evacuate 12,000 locals. After the eruption, a tsunami is feared due to ash and lava falling into the sea.
