Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Alert Level III (Standby). Seismic monitoring between 00:00 - 06:00 WIB on 21 June 2026 recorded 15 eruption earthquakes with amplitude 10-22 mm and duration 55-202 seconds.
Additionally, 1 rockfall earthquake (6 mm amplitude, 71 sec duration) and 2 exhalation earthquakes (5-6 mm amplitude, 57-95 sec duration) were detected.
PVMBG has prohibited all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit eruption centre. Outside this zone, public activity is also banned within 500 meters of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as this area is at risk from pyroclastic surges and lahar flows that can reach up to 17 km from the peak.
For the 2026 year to date, MAGMA Indonesia has logged 2,830 volcanic eruptions nationwide. Mount Semeru in East Java is the most active, accounting for 1,304 recorded eruptions.
