The alert status for Mount Semeru in East Java was escalated to the maximum following continuous volcanic activity.

The eruption produced ash columns reaching about two kilometers above the summit and sent hot lava and rock avalanches traveling seven kilometers down the slopes.

Authorities relocated more than 300 residents from three vulnerable villages to official shelters, with no casualties reported so far.

Australia’s Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre issued a red code for aviation, advising locals to keep a safe distance of 2.5 kilometers from the volcano.
