Java's Kelud volcano eruption kills 3, some 200,000 told to evacuate

Mount Kelud volcano eruption in Java, Indonesia has claimed lives of at least three people and forced evacuation of some 200,000 people.

According to the Indonesia's disaster agency, Mount Kelud eruption could be heard up to 125 miles away.
