BALI: Flights to Bali were cancelled as Indonesia authorities closed the island's airport and raised the alert on Mount Agung volcano to the highest level, amid fears a significant eruption could be imminent.

Indonesia's national disaster agency said on Monday (Nov 27) that the exclusion zone around the volcano, which is 75km from Bali's tourist hub of Kuta, had been widened to 10km, with people living in the zone being urged to evacuate.

"The alert status for Mount Agung has been raised from level three to level four from 6am on Monday," said Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centre spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho in a tweet on Monday morning.
