The eruption was not visually observed. The eruption of Mount Semeru was still ongoing at the time of this report.

According to the MAGMA Indonesia volcano activity report, the activity level of Mount Semeru is at Level II (Alert). Seismic observations on November 25, 2024, from 00:00 to 23:59 WIB showed 90 eruption quakes with amplitudes of 10-22 millimeters and durations of 63-157 seconds.

Then, there were 2 pyroclastic flow quakes with amplitudes of 4-7 mm and durations of 40-43 seconds, and 18 tremor quakes with amplitudes of 3-9 millimeters and durations of 24-83 seconds.

The PVMBG advises against any activity in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan, up to 8 kilometers from the peak (eruption center). Outside this distance, people should not engage in activities within 500 meters of the riverbank (riverbed) along Besuk Kobokan due to the potential for pyroclastic flow expansion and lava flows up to 13 kilometers from the peak.
