Mount Semeru in Indonesia’s East Java province erupted Tuesday evening, sending an ash column 1,000 meters into the sky. The eruption also produced a hot avalanche cloud that traveled approximately three kilometers.

The country’s volcanology agency reported the eruption lasted nearly five minutes, with a maximum seismic amplitude of 12 mm. Thick gray ash drifted northeast and east.
Authorities are urging residents to avoid activities within a five-kilometer radius of the crater. They are also advising people to stay clear of the southeastern sector along the Besuk Kobokan river channel, extending up to 13 kilometers from the summit, due to the risk of pyroclastic flows, lava avalanches, and lahars.
