Indonesia Raises Anak Krakatau Alert to Level III After 13 Eruptions Recorded in a Day
Authorities raised the alert after 13 eruptions and 26 eruption earthquakes, while ash and gas emissions continued from the volcano.
- On Friday, Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano erupted, prompting authorities to raise its alert status to Level III, the second-highest level in the country's volcanic alert system.
- Increased volcanic activity emerged earlier this month, with the Geological Agency noting 18 eruptions since October began, including 13 recorded yesterday.
- Seismic monitoring recorded 26 eruption earthquakes, while ash columns reached 250 metres above the summit and sulphur dioxide emissions ranged up to 237.5 tonnes per day.
- The Geological Agency prohibited all activities within a 2-kilometer radius of the active crater, warning residents in Banten and Lampung of volcanic rocks, ashfall, and lava flows.
- This activity follows September eruptions that forced temporary closures at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, which previously disrupted 2,961 flights and affected about 341,000 passengers.
