Mt Kelud spews ash and sand over six-mile radius, grounding flights. The ash cloud reached 18 miles into the atmosphere and fell to Earth in towns and cities across the region, including Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city, and even farther afield in Yogyakarta, where motorists were forced to switch on their headlights in daylight.
