喀拉喀托之子火山形成於1883年喀拉喀托火山爆發後留下的破火山口之中,自上世紀初從海中形成以來一直斷斷續續活躍,2018年12月曾因山體崩塌引發海嘯造成超過400人死亡。

印尼喀拉喀托之子火山(Anak Krakatau)爆發,八個機場暫停運作,約17萬名乘客滯留。

雅加達蘇加諾—哈達國際機場(Soekarno-Hatta International Airport)是週日(9月6日)早上首個關閉的機場,其附近空域偵測到火山灰。

印尼交通部表示,共有1,558班航班延誤,機場將維持關閉,直至週一(7日)當地時間上午9時。

喀拉喀托之子火山上週五(4日)深夜開始爆發,持續引發地震活動、熔岩噴泉,周邊地區傳出巨響。當局表示,週日凌晨再發生多兩次爆發。

印尼交通部表示,機場停運主要影響來往新加坡的航班,以及其他國際航線,包括杜哈、悉尼及吉隆坡。

交通部長杜迪·普爾瓦甘迪(Dudy Purwagandhi)表示,經測試發現火山灰已擴散至西爪哇,因此決定暫時關閉更多機場。

他促請航空公司加快為受影響乘客辦理退款,並及時向即將乘搭航班的乘客提供資訊,避免機場人潮擠迫。

根據印尼氣象局(BMKG)資料,在火山以東的爪哇島,火山灰最高升至2萬英呎(6,000米);在火山以西、蘇門答臘一側,火山灰高度更達5萬呎(1.5萬米)。

當局確認,這次火山活動並未引發海嘯警報。該火山位於爪哇島和蘇門答臘島之間的巽他海峽(Sunda Strait)。

印尼衛生部長呼籲,受影響地區的居民留在室內並佩戴口罩,以防範呼吸道、眼睛及皮膚受到影響。

當地報章《Kompas》報道,數間學校在週六(9月5日)取消活動,此前有學生及居民表示火山灰令他們眼睛受到刺激;部分漁民同樣表示眼睛不適,取消出海捕魚行程。

其中一名居民阿爾迪·坎德拉·普拉約吉(Aldi Candra Prayogi)向該報表示,自週五晚,他感覺「像有細小的沙粒跑進眼睛」,需要使用眼藥水緩解不適。

他又表示,塵埃非常濃厚,以至於他每五分鐘就要清掃屋前的庭院。

喀拉喀托之子火山,名字意即「喀拉喀托的孩子」,形成於1883年喀拉喀托火山爆發後所留下的破火山口之中。自上世紀初從海中形成以來,它就一直斷斷續續地活躍。

這座火山曾於2018年12月崩塌,引發巨大海嘯,造成超過400人死亡,並在蘇門答臘及爪哇附近沿岸地區導致數以千計居民流離失所及受傷。

科學家發現,火山坍塌時從山體滑落的部分岩塊,高度約為70至90米。

環太平洋火山帶(Pacific Ring of Fire)是指環繞太平洋一連串火山、地震帶及板塊構造所形成的地帶,橫跨南美洲最南端一直延伸至新西蘭,長達4萬公里(2.5萬英里)。

全球約90%的地震均發生在此地帶,而地球上75%的活火山,即452座活火山,都分布在環太平洋火山帶內。

What to Watch

In-depth interview|Seeing “certainty” in turbulent times, Bangladeshi scholars look forward to more stories about the Greater Bay Area being told

After visiting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Sheikh Tawfiq Moyazemul Haq, a professor at the Institute of South Asian Policy and Governance at North-South University in Bangladesh, said that the Greater Bay Area provides "certainty" in the global economic turmoil. He was impressed by the technology and management of its Metro Line 18. He believed that the long-term planning experience of the Greater Bay Area can be used for reference by South Asian countries, especially in the application of drone technology in urban management and disaster management. He also called on the media to tell the story of the Greater Bay Area to promote Asia-Pacific cooperation.

Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway and crashed into a car at Miami Airport, killing 5 and injuring 5

At Miami International Airport in Florida, the United States, an Amazon cargo plane overran the runway on the afternoon of the 6th. The plane crashed into a vehicle in the parking lot and caught fire, killing at least 5 people and injuring 5 people. Witness videos showed that the plane landed too fast, landed in the middle of the runway, and lacked room to stop. The airport was not equipped with an EMAS arresting system, causing the aircraft to overshoot the runway and enter the road.

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to Japan's request to remove the monument: It is as absurd as asking the wind not to blow and the sun not to shine.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks calling for the removal of the monument in Khabarovsk, saying it was ridiculous and that the 'disease' of ignoring one's own history should not be passed on to other countries. Russian parliamentarians and representatives of the Military History Society also refuted this, emphasizing that the monument conforms to historical facts.

Flooding at China's Jilong Port: Officials arranged for international media to visit the disaster area for the first time

A devastating flood occurred at the Gyirong port on the border between China and Nepal on August 26, killing more than 1,000 people and leaving thousands missing. The Chinese government has yet to announce any information on the casualties and has restricted foreign journalists from entering the disaster area. On September 5, China arranged for more than a dozen international media to visit the disaster-stricken area in Jilong for the first time. Officials said that as of 6 p.m. on the 5th, 43 people were confirmed dead and 519 missing, 261 of whom were foreigners. CNN described the interview as an official "carefully arranged" itinerary to showcase the rescue operations, but emphasized that the content of the report is still determined by the media. Foreign media had previously been unable to freely enter Tibet for interviews, which was in sharp contrast to the continuous reporting from the Nepalese side. The Chinese authorities have not released a complete list of missing persons, raising questions about information transparency. Beijing officials emphasized that information release was "open, transparent and timely" and said they had verified their identities through various methods. CNN reporters reported that the scene in the disaster area was like the surface of the moon. The border checkpoint at the Geelong Port had almost completely disappeared, and no survivors had been found. The U.S. Embassy in China has asked China to provide more information.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense mistakenly claimed that Nogi Nozomi was enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine, but Japanese experts refuted it as a historical joke.

At a press conference, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang criticized Japanese lawmakers for visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, wrongly claiming that the shrine is dedicated to Nogi Nogi, the former governor of Taiwan. Akio Yaita, CEO of Japan's Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank, pointed out that Nogi Nogi was not enshrined at the Yasukuni Shrine. The actual place where his wife was enshrined was the Nogi Shrine in Akasaka, Tokyo. He also criticized the Chinese Ministry of National Defense for disclosing erroneous historical facts and using history as a political propaganda tool.
