Indonesia's Mt Bromo volcano -- a popular tourist site -- has begun spewing ash and has been closed to visitors.

Nearby towns have already been affected, and there are reports of ash falling up to 60 kilometres away.

The two-thousand-392-metre volcano is located in East Java's Bromo-Tengger-Semeru national park, which has been closed to the public since Wednesday.
