2 Indonesian volcanoes spew lava in new eruptions

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Two volcanoes in Indonesia have spewed fresh lava down their slopes, in the latest of several eruptions in less than two weeks.
Volcanology official Kasbani said Friday that Mount Merapi on the main island of Java shot out hot clouds and lava that flowed 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) down its slopes late Thursday.
Hours earlier, Mount Karangetang on Sulawesi’s Siau island sent lava and searing gas out of its crater, prompting evacuation preparations. Authorities
