Per MAGMA Indonesia volcanic activity reports, Mount Semeru remains at Alert Level III. Seismic monitoring between 00:00 - 06:00 WIB on 14 September 2026 recorded 27 eruption earthquakes (amplitude 10-23 mm, duration 58-178 seconds), 9 rockfall earthquakes (amplitude 2-4 mm, 43-71 seconds), and 8 emission tremors (amplitude 2-7 mm, 41-76 seconds).

PVMBG prohibits all activities in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan within 13 km of the summit. Outside this zone, public activity is also banned within 500 meters of river banks along Besuk Kobokan, due to risk of pyroclastic surges and lahar flows reaching up to 17 km from the peak.

For full year 2026, MAGMA Indonesia logged 4,630 volcanic eruptions nationwide. Mount Semeru recorded the highest activity with 1,809 eruption events.
