I was just about to post the same thing.

Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula is showing signs of becoming active for the first time in 800 years; its last spell of significant activity began in c.950 AD, and lasted for 300 years.

It likely doesn't have the potential to devastate and disrupt internationally in the same way that a Krakatoa eruption could - it's very different in terms of its volcanic activity - but while much more likely to be a long-lasting inconvenience for a country well-used to volcanic activity than a sudden catastrophe, itt could significantly disrupt Iceland's economy; not least because the country's main international airport is on the northwestern section of the peninsula.

Tbh NSG is not the place I expect for something like this to be posted, but considering the situation.....ah well.
The eruption is not really major, and given that the volcano is active it's not even weird.
However this morning social media is buzzing with people posting about some loud noises they heard around Jakarta, though it's then reported that the eruption is so small it's unlikely that the sounds of its eruption could be heard that far.

Some residents on the coasts of Lampung did evacuate to higher lands due to trauma from the last Krakatoa tsunami that hit the area.

January: meh
February: Coronavirus
March: More coronavirus and lockdowns
April: Krakatoa... except it's not.

According to this Indonesian news station it's not that large of an eruption to be threatening. In fact about six other volcanoes are erupting rn in Indonesia people just can't focus about one thing to panic about. And according to this (Bahasa language) the loud booming sound isn't from Krakatoa either.

Krakatoa throwing a tantrum is news worthy now?

The volcano or disease? Cause the disease has already killed 100,000 people worldwide so it's pretty newsworthy.
