Indonesia’s Mount Semeru Erupts Multiple Times
(MENAFN) Mount Semeru, situated in Indonesia’s East Java province, erupted six times early Sunday, sending ash clouds soaring up to 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) above its summit.
Positioned between the Lumajang and Malang districts, the volcano has remained in an active phase for several years. It is currently classified at Level III alert status, according to a news agency.
"An eruption occurred on Sunday, 2025, at 5:46 am local time (2246GMT Saturday), with an observed column height of 1,200 meters above the summit," stated Liswanto, an officer at the Mt. Semeru Observation Post in Lumajang.
Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) has cautioned residents to avoid activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan, within a 13 km (8 miles) radius of the peak.
"The public is also prohibited from activities within a 5 km (3.11 miles) radius of the crater due to the risk of ejected rocks," Liswanto further noted.
Monitoring records revealed that eruption columns fluctuated in height, ranging from 500 meters (1,640 feet) to 1,200 meters.
Standing 3,676 meters (12,060 feet) above sea level, Semeru is recognized as one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, with a history of eruptions that have occasionally resulted in fatalities.
Indonesia itself lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a volatile seismic belt that hosts more than 120 active volcanoes.
