Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru activity status is set at Level III (Alert). Seismic monitoring on 11 August 2026 between 06:00-12:00 WIB recorded 21 eruption earthquakes with 10-27 mm amplitude and 46-82 second duration.

Additionally, 3 emission earthquakes (4-6 mm amplitude, 19.73-39 second duration), plus 2 distant tectonic earthquakes (10-33 mm amplitude, 19.82-26.82 second S-P interval, 73-86 second total duration) were detected.

PVMBG advises against ALL activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this radius, residents must avoid activities within 500 meters of riverbanks along Besuk Kobokan: this zone faces risk from extended pyroclastic flows and lahar runout up to 17 km from the crater.

For 2026 up to this date, MAGMA Indonesia logged 3,894 volcanic eruptions across Indonesia. East Java's Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1,593 eruptions.
