Mount Semeru in East Java erupted again on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at 4:43 PM WIB. This marks the second eruption in the past week.

Based on eruption information from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) via the MAGMA Indonesia application, the visual eruption was not observed. The eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 22 millimeters and a duration of 126 seconds.

According to the MAGMA Indonesia volcano activity report, Mount Semeru's activity level is at Level III (Alert). Observations of seismic activity from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM WIB on April 16, 2024, showed 10 eruption quakes with amplitudes of 10-22 millimeters and durations of 88-141 seconds.

Furthermore, there was 1 rockfall quake with an amplitude of 5 mm and a duration of 119 seconds, and 3 emission quakes with amplitudes of 6-7 millimeters and durations of 69-91 seconds.

PVMBG advises against any activity in the southeast sector along the Besuk Kobokan river, up to 13 kilometers from the summit (eruption center). Outside this distance, the public should not engage in activities within 500 meters of the riverbank (river buffer zone) along the Besuk Kobokan river due to the potential for hot cloud expansion and lava flows extending up to 17 kilometers from the summit.

During 2024, MAGMA Indonesia has recorded 535 volcanic eruptions/eruptions throughout Indonesia. Mount Semeru in East Java has experienced the most eruptions, with 174 recorded events.
