Mount Semeru in East Java erupted again on Monday, April 15, 2024, at 9:31 PM WIB. In the last week, Mount Semeru had only erupted once.

According to eruption information from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) via the MAGMA Indonesia application, the eruption was not visually observed. The eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 24 millimeters and a duration of 118 seconds.

According to the MAGMA Indonesia volcano activity report, Mount Semeru's activity level is at Level III (Alert). Observations of seismic activity on April 15, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM WIB showed 10 eruption quakes with amplitudes of 13-22 millimeters and durations of 86-204 seconds.

Furthermore, there was 1 puffing quake with an amplitude of 8 millimeters and a duration of 33 seconds, and 3 harmonic tremors with amplitudes of 2-4 millimeters and durations of 211-252 seconds.

PVMBG advises against any activity in the southeast sector along Besuk Kobokan, up to 13 kilometers from the summit (eruption center). Outside this distance, people should not engage in activities within 500 meters of the riverbank (river edge) along Besuk Kobokan due to the potential for pyroclastic flow and lahar flows extending up to 17 kilometers from the summit.

During 2024, MAGMA Indonesia has recorded 533 volcanic eruptions throughout Indonesia. Mount Semeru in East Java has had the most eruptions, with 173 eruptions.
