AKARTA—A volcano erupted on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali, causing some overnight flight cancellations to and from Australia as an ash cloud rose into the sky, officials said on Saturday.

Mount Agung volcano spewed out lava and showers of rocks over a distance of about 2 miles (3 km), with ash falling over dozens of villages, officials said. There were no reports of casualties.
