Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Activity Level III (Alert). Seismic monitoring on 11 October 2026 between 18:00-23:59 WIB recorded 30 eruption earthquakes with amplitude 10-24 mm, lasting 64-161 seconds each.
Additionally, 9 emission earthquakes (4-9 mm amplitude, 43-81 sec duration) and 6 harmonic tremors (2-21 mm amplitude, 179-458 sec duration) were detected.
PVMBG prohibits all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, the public must also avoid activity within 500 meters of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as pyroclastic surges and lahar flows may reach up to 17 km from the peak.
During 2026, MAGMA Indonesia logged 5,042 volcanic eruptions nationwide. East Java's Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1,954 eruptions.
