Govt stated Mt. Anak Krakatau's 25-hour eruption episode ends

Indonesia's Geological Agency reported that Mount Anak Krakatau's 25-hour continuous eruption episode has ended. The eruption began on Friday, Sept 4, at 11:07 p.m. local time and concluded on Sunday, Sept 6, at 12:04 a.m. According to the agency's head, Lana Saria, the volcano's activity has returned to Strombolian eruption characteristics, indicated by three Strombolian eruption earthquakes recorded. While the prolonged eruption phase has ended, the agency warns that future eruptions remain likely. Instrumental observations from Sept 6–7 recorded various types of seismic activity, including three eruption earthquakes, nine emission earthquakes, and numerous low-frequency and hybrid earthquakes. The Real-time Seismic Amplitude Measurement (RSAM) graph showed a decline in amplitude since Sunday. Tiltmeter readings suggested slight inflation at Tanjung Station since early August 2026, while Lava93 Station showed consistent patterns. The agency maintains Mount Anak Krakatau's alert level at Level III. It advises people to stay out of the three-kilometer danger zone around the active crater and urges coastal residents in Banten and Lampung provinces to remain calm and avoid believing讹

Lembata's Ile Lewotolok erupts 1,873 times over five days

Ile Lewotolok Volcano in Lembata District, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), experienced 1,873 eruptions between September 1-5, 2026, according to local observers. The eruptions reached heights of 200-700 meters, with ash columns appearing white, gray, and black. Officials noted avalanches extending up to 700 meters southeast of the summit. Seismic data included various types of earthquakes, including 663 gust earthquakes, 14 harmonic earthquakes, and multiple other categories. Some eruptions were captured on video, though some appeared taller due to the vantage point. The Geological Agency has raised alerts for potential lava flows and increased volcanic activity.
