Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Alert Level III. Seismic monitoring between 18:00 - 23:59 WIB on June 2, 2026 recorded 18 eruption earthquakes with 12-22 mm amplitude and 67-136 second duration.

Additionally, 3 emission earthquakes (3-7 mm amplitude, 21-51 seconds) and 1 harmonic tremor (9 mm amplitude, 180 seconds) were detected.

PVMBG prohibits all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, public activity is banned within 500 meters of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as hot cloud surges and lahar flows may reach up to 17 km from the peak.

During 2026, MAGMA Indonesia recorded 2,276 volcanic eruptions across Indonesia. East Java's Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1,144 eruptions.
