Mount Semeru erupts, ash column reaches 900 metres

Original: Gunung Semeru erupsi Senin pagi, tinggi letusan capai 900 meter Gunung Semeru di perbatasan Kabupaten Lumajang dan Malan

Mount Semeru, on the border of Lumajang and Malang regencies in East Java, Indonesia, erupted on Monday morning, sending an ash column around 900 metres above its summit. The volcano is one of Indonesia's most active, and eruptions there typically draw attention to hazards for nearby residents, including ashfall and potential lava flows during rainy periods. Authorities are monitoring activity, and residents in surrounding areas have been urged to stay alert.

Why now: A fresh eruption at one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes raises immediate concern for nearby communities and safety warnings.
