Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Activity Level III (Alert Status). Seismic monitoring between 18:00 - 23:59 WIB on 9 June 2026 recorded 19 eruption earthquakes (11-22 mm amplitude, 99-160 second duration).
Additionally, 2 emission earthquakes (4-8 mm amplitude, 39-46 second duration) and 2 distant tectonic earthquakes (11-18 mm amplitude, 16-36 s S-P interval, 68-87 second duration) were detected.
PVMBG warns against all activity in the southeastern sector along the Besuk Kobokan valley within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, public activity is prohibited within 500 metres of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, as pyroclastic surges and lahar flows may reach up to 17 km from the peak.
During 2026, MAGMA Indonesia has logged 2446 volcanic eruptions nationwide. Mount Semeru has recorded the highest activity with 1201 eruptions.
