Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru activity status is set at Level III (Alert). Seismic monitoring on 15 October 2026 between 00:00–06:00 WIB recorded 26 eruption earthquakes with 12–25 mm amplitude and 66–159 second duration.

Additionally, 4 rockfall earthquakes (2–5 mm amplitude, 39–95 second duration) and 5 emission tremor earthquakes (3–9 mm amplitude, 28–52 second duration) were detected.

PVMBG advises against all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan, within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, people must not operate within 500 meters of riverbanks along Besuk Kobokan: this area faces risk of pyroclastic flow expansion and lahars reaching up to 17 km from the peak.

During 2026, MAGMA Indonesia has logged 5,113 volcanic eruptions across Indonesia. East Java's Mount Semeru accounts for the highest count with 1,989 eruptions.
