00:00Indonesia's Mount Sameru sent volcanic ash hundreds of meters above its summit during
00:05repeated eruptions on Tuesday. The volcano, located in East Java, was initially reported
00:11to have erupted nine times overnight. Ash columns reached heights of up to 900 meters above the
00:17summit. The first eruption occurred shortly after midnight, with a white-to-gray plume
00:22drifting southwest. Further eruptions were recorded throughout the morning, including
00:26another at 10.37 a.m. Local time. Seismic monitoring recorded a maximum amplitude of 22 millimeters
00:34and a signal lasting 137 seconds during the reported activity. However, newer reporting
00:40indicates the eruption count later rose to at least 10. Indonesia's authorities also maintained
00:46a heightened volcanic alert, with restrictions around hazardous areas near the mountain.
00:51The latest official guidance matters, because volcanic activity can change, and ash plume
00:56height alone does not establish the full level of danger. Mount Sameru's activity and
01:01local safety instructions should be checked through official monitoring updates.
