Hundreds Evacuated after Indonesia Volcano Erupts

More than 500 people have been evacuated from a tiny Indonesian island where a volcano erupted at the weekend, spewing rocks and lava that killed five villagers, an official said Monday.

Mount Rokatenda, on Palue island in East Nusa Tenggara province, threw red-hot ash two kilometers into the sky Saturday and unleashed torrents of molten lava onto a beach, killing three adults and two children as they slept.
