A volcano eruption in Indonesia has killed two people and forced 100,000 more out of their homes, Indonesia's disaster management agency said Friday.

The two died when parts of buildings collapsed on them.

Mount Kelud in the eastern part of the main island Java has been spewing ash for at least two days high into the air, as a smoke plume has risen from out of its crater into the sky.

Indonesian volcano forces evacuations

The government raised its eruption alert to its highest level overnight, and authorities have ordered an evacuation of all residents in a 10-kilometer (6.2 miles) radius of the volcano in eastern Java.

Flights at area airports -- two in East Java, two in Central Java -- were canceled because of the ash.
