00:00Indonesia is seeing heightened volcanic activity.
00:02Several volcanoes erupted or became more active in early September.
00:06They include Anak Krakato, Sumeru, Ibu, Lewatolok, and Lewatobi-Laki-Laki.
00:12But experts say the eruptions are not necessarily connected.
00:15Indonesia's Geological Agency says 11 volcanoes have erupted in 2026.
00:21Five are currently at Level 3 alert status.
00:24Six others are at Level 2 warning status.
00:26Mount Anak Krakato recorded 243 eruptions this year.
00:31Mount Ibu recorded a far higher 25,156 eruptions.
00:35Experts say Indonesia's location on the Pacific Ring of Fire is key.
00:39The country has at least 127 active volcanoes.
00:43Each volcano has its own magma system and activity cycle.
00:46Some eruptions can therefore happen around the same time by coincidence.
00:50Earthquakes can also influence certain volcanoes under specific conditions.
00:54Officials say the Flores earthquake affected activity at two volcanoes.
00:58However, there is no evidence of one event triggering all the eruptions.
01:03Authorities are urging communities to follow PVMBG warnings and safety advice.
