Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, erupted again on Wednesday night at 9:26 PM local time. The eruption produced an ash column rising 600 meters above the summit, or approximately 2,184 meters above sea level, with moderate intensity drifting southwest.

Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki remains at Level III (Siaga) alert status. Authorities have instructed residents and tourists to stay at least 5 kilometers away from the eruption center and up to 6 kilometers in the southwest, north, and northeast sectors.

Residents are also warned about potential lahar floods, particularly along rivers originating from the volcano’s peak, including areas like Dulipali, Padang Pasir, Nobo, Klatanlo, Hokengjaya, Boru, and Nawakote.

Local authorities in East Flores continue to coordinate with monitoring posts and PVMBG to assess the situation and prepare mitigation measures.

Mount Semeru, located in Lumajang, East Java, erupted 10 times on January 1, 2025, starting from 1:12 AM and continuing until 6:37 PM local time.

The volcano, which stands at 3,676 meters above sea level, experienced its first eruption shortly after the New Year. By Thursday, Mount Semeru continued its volcanic activity and remains at Level II (Waspada) alert status.

PVMBG has advised residents to avoid the southeastern sector along the Besuk Kobokan river within a 8 kilometer radius from the summit. Additionally, authorities have warned of potential pyroclastic flows, lava avalanches, and lahar floods along rivers and valleys originating from Mount Semeru’s peak.
