> The eruption of Anak Krakatau has forced eight Indonesian airports to suspend operations, leaving about 170,000 passengers stranded and delaying 1,558 flights. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport was closed after ash was detected in nearby airspace, with the shutdown expected to continue until 9am local time on 7 September. Ash spread across Java and Sumatra, but authorities confirmed there was no tsunami warning.
