Part of the September 8, 2026 daily edition
인도네시아 순다해협에 있는 아낙 크라카타우 화산이 4일 밤에 분화했습니다. 화산재는 자바섬 반텐주 일대에서 최대 1만5000m, 수마트라섬 방향으로는 최대 6000m 높이까지 치솟았습니다. 인도네시아 기상기후지질청은 분화 때 난 굉음이 최대 700㎞ 떨어진 곳에서도 들릴 정도였다고 밝혔습니다. 6일 오전에는 자카르타 외곽의 수카르노-하타 국제공항 등 주요 공항 6곳의 항공기 운항이 일시 중단됐습니다. 이 공항에서만 항공편 209편이 결항해 승객 약 2만2000명이 영향을 받았습니다.
Translation
The Anak Krakatau volcano, in the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, erupted on the night of the 4th. Volcanic ash rose to a maximum of 15,000 metres over the Banten area of Java, and to a maximum of 6,000 metres in the direction of Sumatra. Indonesia's meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said the boom from the eruption was loud enough to be heard as far as 700 kilometres away. On the morning of the 6th, flights were temporarily suspended at six major airports, including Soekarno-Hatta International Airport outside Jakarta. At that airport alone 209 flights were cancelled, affecting about 22,000 passengers.
Vocabulary
- 분화하다동사 (verb)to erupt (of a volcano)
- 화산재명사 (noun)volcanic ash
- 치솟다동사 (verb)to shoot up, to soar
- 굉음명사 (noun)a roar, a boom
- 해협명사 (noun)a strait

Grammar points
-까지up to, as far as
까지 marks the far end of a stretch — of time, of distance, or as here of height. It answers 'how far did it get', which is why it pairs so naturally with 최대. Its opposite number is 부터, marking where the stretch starts, and the two are often used together.
Example: 수마트라섬 방향으로는 최대 6000m 높이까지 치솟았습니다.
It rose to a maximum of 6,000 metres in the direction of Sumatra.
-다고 밝히다to state that, to say that (in an announcement)
밝히다 reports what an institution said, and the quoted clause takes -다고 before it. It carries more weight than 말하다: 밝히다 suggests the speaker is putting something on the record, so news writing uses it for agencies and ministries. Watch the tense inside the quote, which stays as the speaker said it.
Example: 인도네시아 기상기후지질청은 분화 때 난 굉음이 최대 700㎞ 떨어진 곳에서도 들릴 정도였다고 밝혔습니다.
Indonesia's meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said the boom from the eruption was loud enough to be heard as far as 700 kilometres away.
N에서만at N alone, in N alone
에서 marks the place where something happens, and 만 added to it narrows the count to that one place. The point is usually that the figure would be larger if you counted everywhere else too, so 에서만 quietly tells you the number is a floor, not a total. Compare 에만, which limits a destination or a target rather than a location of action.
Example: 이 공항에서만 항공편 209편이 결항해 승객 약 2만2000명이 영향을 받았습니다.
At that airport alone 209 flights were cancelled, affecting about 22,000 passengers.
