The Indonesian island of Java has been covered in ash from a volcano that erupted Thursday.

Tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes and the volcano on Mount Kelud has been spewing ash for days, according to CNN.

Three international airports have been shut down because of the ash.

The volcano last erupted in 2007.

Here are some photos of the aftermath:
