Overview

• The volcano sent a 10 km ash column on August 1 followed by an 18 km plume early on August 2, marking its most powerful consecutive eruptions since June.
• Officials raised the alert to level IV on June 18 after activity escalated from late 2023 and continue to monitor seismic and gas emissions.
• A 7 km safety perimeter has been enforced around the crater, with village evacuations aimed at reducing exposure to ash, pyroclastic flows and potential lahars.
• No casualties or structural damage have been reported, although hot ash and rock fragments continue to cover nearby settlements.
• Six domestic flights at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport were delayed on Saturday as lingering ash disrupted regional air traffic.
